Andrea Levitan, LPC

Andrea Levitan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people deal with relationship strains, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem. She also supports clients facing career concerns, family conflict, and challenges like body image or codependency. Her practical focus on thoughts and everyday habits aims to make change feel useful and doable. Andrea encourages a clear, hands‑on approach in sessions. She listens carefully and helps clients identify buried emotions and everyday patterns that get in the way. She uses creative coping skills and motivational coaching to set small, realistic steps. Sessions emphasize thinking differently about problems and practicing new habits between meetings. Her perspective draws on multiple methods, including cognitive ideas that look at thoughts and behaviors, emotionally focused work for close relationships, and mindfulness strategies to notice feelings without getting overwhelmed. She also brings techniques from motivational interviewing and solution‑focused work to help clients move toward specific goals. Andrea trained at Avila University where she earned a master’s degree in counseling psychology. She holds LPC credentials in Kansas and Missouri and has about 18 years of experience in the field. She also completed a personal trainer certification to better connect mental health with exercise and lifestyle factors. Clients who choose her can expect a practical, supportive partnership. Andrea often combines listening, goal setting, and homework between sessions so new habits take root. People who want clear steps and steady encouragement often find this approach helpful.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Andrea often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and everyday habits. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, actions, and feelings and offers simple practices to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. She also uses Emotionally‑Focused Therapy ideas for relationship concerns. EFT‑informed work focuses on how people communicate needs and respond to each other, aiming to strengthen emotional connection and improve intimacy. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process may combine practical thought‑work, emotional processing, and short‑term goal setting. Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check‑in meetings when schedules are tight. Some people prefer sessions that focus on homework and skills practice, while others want more time for emotional processing; Andrea can help shape sessions so they work for daily life.
