About Andrea

Andrea Villescas is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas who draws on eleven years of clinical experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

She emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where clients can explore difficult thoughts and emotions and work toward meaningful change. Her practice integrates evidence-based methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Andrea pays attention to a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping problems, parenting struggles, self-esteem, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also brings focus to multicultural issues, prejudice and discrimination, seasonal affective disorder, and needs related to first responders and veterans.

Andrea frames therapy as a collaborative process, offering support and practical skills while encouraging clients to define what a more fulfilling life looks like for them. Working in Texas and conducting sessions in English, she aims to empower clients as they take courageous steps toward change, helping them build resilience and coping strategies that fit their everyday lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Andrea blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work to help clients identify values, accept difficult emotions, and take practical steps toward meaningful goals. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and committing to action even when uncomfortable feelings arise, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation-related struggles. CBT targets thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful patterns in mood, sleep, and daily routines.

Finding the right approach is collaborative rather than predetermined. Andrea works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs and goals, adjusting techniques as therapy unfolds so the plan reflects each person's preferences and progress.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility across schedules. This mix of formats makes it possible to maintain regular contact, practice new skills between sessions, and adapt care to work and life demands while receiving support from a licensed professional.
