About Andrea
Andrea Baker is a Florida-licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 23 years of experience working with adults and children. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, family concerns, relationship issues, and coping with life changes. Andrea also works with parenting challenges, grief, sleep problems, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She began her career in therapeutic foster care, teaching children and caregivers practical life and parenting skills. For the last two decades she has worked in hospital settings supporting people facing acute medical crises and long-term health concerns. That work informs how she supports clients who are navigating illness, caregiving roles, or cancer-related stress.
Andrea uses straightforward, skills-based methods. She teaches coping strategies for anxiety and mood concerns, practices communication skills, and helps people set realistic career and life goals. She draws on Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral approaches, along with solution-focused techniques to develop concrete action steps.
Many people seek her help for changes around becoming a parent. She has experience supporting women in the perinatal period, including those adjusting to life as a new mother or managing postpartum depression. She also helps with adoption and foster care related concerns and blended family issues.
Her style emphasizes practical tools, clear goals, and steady follow-through. Sessions often focus on small, manageable changes that build confidence. Andrea works in English and is based in Florida as an LMHC.
How Andrea’s approaches work in online sessions
Andrea blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in practical ways. Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to clarify priorities and strengths. It helps people talk through family roles and personal expectations without judgment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and improving daily routines.Finding the right approach is part of the early sessions. Andrea will work with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, current challenges, and preferences. That collaborative planning may mix listening, skill-building, behavioral experiments, and short action plans.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions help them maintain consistency, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around work and caregiving demands.
