About Andrea

Andrea Strayer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who draws on eight years of professional experience to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, anger, family conflict, and ADHD-related concerns.

Background and approach

She trained with a psychology undergraduate foundation and completed a Master of Social Work, and she combines that background with practical strategies to address immediate problems and longer-term goals. Andrea uses a solution-focused framework to clarify challenges, build a realistic plan, and put that plan into action alongside clients.

She also brings experience with related issues such as caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication and control difficulties, impulsivity, mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, and workplace or relationship struggles. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and empowerment so clients can develop skills that support daily functioning and emotional well-being.

Clients working with Andrea can expect goal-oriented sessions that balance short-term problem solving with attention to broader patterns like guilt, shame, self-worth, and social anxiety. She offers therapy in English and serves people within Indiana, helping them identify practical steps toward a more satisfying life.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Remote Care

Andrea emphasizes evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and measurable progress. One key method she uses is a solution-focused approach, which helps clients define clear, achievable goals and identify small, actionable steps to address specific problems such as stress, anger, or workplace difficulties. This approach is helpful for people seeking targeted strategies and quicker improvements in daily functioning.

Another common element in her work is skills-oriented intervention aimed at managing mood, anxiety, impulsivity, and ADHD-related challenges; this involves teaching coping strategies, communication tools, and problem-solving techniques to reduce distress and enhance self-management. These methods are designed to be adaptable to each person's situation and pace.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with clients to explore which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts plans over time based on progress and feedback. Clients can expect partnership in selecting methods that feel most useful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible ways to access care. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity when life is unpredictable, and choose the format that best supports communication and progress.
