About Andrea

Andrea Phillips is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Missouri with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Her approach emphasizes steady support and practical steps toward feeling better.

Andrea treats difficult emotions like anger, shame, and isolation by listening first and then working with each person to build manageable goals. She centers sessions on the client’s own strengths and priorities rather than a single fixed method.

Background and approach

That means conversations tend to be direct, kind, and focused on what will help day to day. Her work includes attention to parenting stress, caregiver burden, adoption and foster care concerns, first responder and veteran issues, and recovery after disasters. She also helps people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and the long-term effects of trauma including post-traumatic stress.

Andrea uses a mix of approaches that fit the person she is working with. She draws on client-centered techniques to follow the client’s lead, cognitive behavioral methods to challenge unhelpful thoughts and habits, emotionally-focused ideas to improve closeness, and EMDR as an option for trauma processing. Sessions are practical and collaborative, with pacing set by the client.

She conducts sessions in English and practices from Missouri. Andrea aims to make each step clear, so people feel able to try new strategies between sessions and measure small changes over time.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them notice their own solutions. This approach is useful when someone needs steady support and clearer direction.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches small practical steps to change them. It works well for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress by giving tools to test negative thinking and build new habits.

EMDR is offered as a way to process traumatic memories using structured sessions that guide attention while the client recalls material at a pace they can handle. It can be useful for people wanting a focused method for trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Andrea will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then suggest a way forward. The plan can change over time if something doesn’t fit or new needs come up.

Online sessions provide flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video helps when visual cues matter, phone can be better when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities while keeping the work focused and practical.
