About Andrea
Andrea Ferrara is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people find practical ways forward when life feels overwhelming. She speaks plainly and focuses on clear goals so clients can see progress. Andrea draws on 17 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, addiction, grief, and other common concerns.
Andrea has worked in many settings, including independent practice, inpatient and outpatient programs, crisis call centers, suicide hotlines, and military installations.
Background and approach
She has supported individuals, couples, and families and has led group psychoeducation presentations. This variety has shaped an adaptable, no-nonsense style in the room. Her sessions center on helping clients change unwanted behaviors and learn new coping skills.
She uses practical exercises and conversation to build tools that fit each person's life. Sessions aim to be goal-focused and to leave clients with steps they can use between meetings. Andrea includes relational methods such as the Gottman Method alongside individual approaches like client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques.
She also draws on emotionally-focused and Jungian ideas when they fit the client’s needs. These approaches are selected to match the problem at hand rather than apply a single method to every situation. Andrea encourages self-care and a balanced approach to daily stressors.
She works to empower clients to make changes that support better sleep, healthier relationships, clearer goals, and improved mood. Her tone is direct but warm, helping clients move through difficult times with practical support.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Andrea blends the Gottman Method with client-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques to address relationship and individual concerns. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and reducing conflict in relationships through specific exercises and skill-building. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and understanding a person's experience so goals emerge from the client's priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practice new ways of responding to stress and mood problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Andrea collaborates with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts pacing and techniques as needs change so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and role-play for relationship work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging make shorter check-ins and ongoing coaching easier to fit into a busy week. These options help people keep momentum and make therapy work with everyday life.
