About Andrea
Andrea LeBeau is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) in Kansas with seven years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and family of origin issues. She also supports people dealing with grief, anger, eating concerns, ADHD, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse.
Andrea draws on plain conversation and clear feedback rather than jargon. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on patterns that come from earlier family roles and expectations. She uses direct, respectful language and helps people notice where past family dynamics still shape behavior today.
Her approach blends several practical methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the session focused on the person’s priorities and experience. Narrative Therapy helps people name the stories they tell about themselves and consider other possibilities.
Andrea has experience in child welfare and foster care systems and has worked with crisis lines, which informs how she handles high-stress situations. She has supervised therapists who provide services to families involved with foster care. This background gives her experience with family dynamics and attachment-related struggles.
In sessions she is direct, transparent, and gives concrete feedback. People who want to understand how their family of origin affects current relationships will find work that looks at patterns, communication habits, commitment and control issues, and strategies for change. To start, confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what the client brings to the session and follows their priorities. This approach helps when someone wants to talk through how family expectations affect current choices and relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical steps to change patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and changing repetitive responses rooted in family patterns.Naming the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will discuss different methods with the client and decide together which fits best based on goals and preferences. That collaborative selection can change over time as the work progresses.
Session formats are not listed explicitly in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people continue work on family patterns when life changes make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and client-centered techniques to remote meetings and focus on concrete strategies, communication skills, and identifying repeating family roles without changing the therapeutic intent.
