About Andrea

Andrea Douglas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama. She draws on 13 years of experience to help people regain direction during stressful or uncertain times.

Background and approach

Andrea focuses on clear, practical steps so clients can make small changes that add up. She uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method.

That means sessions can include problem-solving, looking at unhelpful thoughts, or exploring a person’s goals and values. Andrea often incorporates elements from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and the Gottman Method when it fits the concern.

People come to her for stress, anxiety, depression, or major life transitions. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, anger, work-related issues, and questions about self-worth.

Additional areas she addresses include body image, communication problems, infidelity, blended family issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. In sessions Andrea aims to be straightforward and supportive.

She helps clients spot small, practical changes they can try between meetings. Conversations are focused on what the client wants to change and what steps feel doable in everyday life.

Andrea offers several ways to connect, including video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. She works with clients across locations and supports people who prefer therapy that is flexible and goal-focused.

Online approaches that fit your goals

Andrea commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method alongside client-centered techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. The Gottman Method looks at patterns in relationships and practical skills for communication and conflict so people can improve day-to-day interaction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then tailor sessions together. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on skills practice, mindset shifts, brief solutions, or relationship exercises aligned with the client's needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into daily life. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not an option or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflections, or scheduling around a busy day. These options provide flexibility for different routines and comfort levels.
