About Andree

Andree McColl-Ravanelli is a California-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with seven years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, and issues related to sexual orientation and identity.

Background and approach

She focuses on building motivation, self-esteem, and confidence while helping clients navigate challenges such as post-traumatic stress, relationship communication struggles, and life transitions like divorce or midlife recalibration. Her practice also includes attention to ADHD-related concerns, caregiver stress, financial worries, and women's health topics.

Andree approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, treating each person as the expert of their own story and highlighting resources they already possess. She frames the therapeutic journey as a collaborative process, offering steady support as clients take steps toward greater clarity, resilience, and joy.

Prospective clients in California and international clients who communicate in English can access her services through a range of online session formats.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Andree uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and personal strengths. One common approach emphasizes skill-building for anxiety and stress management, teaching grounding, breathing, and thought-challenging strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on trauma-informed work that helps process difficult experiences and supports gradual recovery from symptoms of post-traumatic stress and abuse. These methods aim to increase emotional regulation and enhance resilience while honoring each person's pace and readiness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andree partners with clients to identify which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve. Clients can expect guidance, steady support, and practical homework when appropriate to reinforce new skills between sessions.

Online therapy with Andree is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and help clients access licensed professionals regardless of geographic constraints.
