About Andrea
Andrea Joyce is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Clinician (LMHC) with 23 years of experience. She practices in Nebraska and supports adults working through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and family of origin issues. Andrea also lists work with trauma and abuse, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and LGBT-related issues among her areas of focus.
Her approach is straightforward and person-centered. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps a person can use between meetings. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness skills to manage strong emotions. Solution-focused tools are used to set small, achievable goals.
Andrea has a long history of working in different settings, including agencies, universities, and with law enforcement. That variety informs how she talks about coping skills, problem solving, and life changes. She also notes experience related to adoption and foster care and to first responder concerns.
In therapy she helps people identify patterns that began in childhood and still affect current relationships and behavior. Sessions often look at family roles, expectations, and communication habits so people can make clearer choices about boundaries and change. Practical strategies are emphasized alongside reflection.
People who prefer a direct, goal-oriented style may find her approach useful. The work is focused on skills, understanding, and steps people can try between sessions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects, and helps the client set the focus of sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns. That approach helps with anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and to notice difficult feelings without immediately acting on them.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Andrea will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals, life demands, and personal preferences. Sessions can shift over time as needs change and as specific skills are practiced between meetings.

Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and make it easier to practice skills between meetings without extra travel.
