Andrea Travers, LCPC

Andrea Travers is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Maryland. She has 13 years of experience helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or substance use. Andrea focuses on how thoughts and everyday habits shape feelings and behavior, and she guides clients toward clearer patterns that support daily functioning.

Her work emphasizes practical steps that fit into real life. Sessions look at connections between past experiences, current thinking, and actions. Andrea helps people try different ways of responding so they can reduce distress and build more stable routines.

She has supported both adults and children through emotional and behavioral challenges. That experience includes helping people manage trauma and abuse, work through attachment and abandonment concerns, and cope with caregiver strain or addiction issues.

Andrea also addresses relationship and personality concerns like codependency, communication problems, commitment worries, and dependent personality traits. Other areas she helps with include fertility-related stress, feelings of emptiness, forgiveness, and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns.

Her approach is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on skills people can use outside sessions. She encourages steady, manageable change so progress can fit around work, family, and school obligations.

Approaches that change thinking and daily habits

Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how thoughts and habits shape emotions and behavior. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns, test them against real-life evidence, and practice clearer, more balanced thinking. This method is helpful for anxiety, low mood, and everyday stress.

Another approach centers on building small, repeatable daily habits and coping skills. It teaches concrete steps for managing strong feelings, reducing impulsive responses, and creating routines that support mood and functioning. That work is useful for people dealing with substance use, caregiver strain, or recurring emotional dysregulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust techniques based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback and shape the plan as they go.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-in visits when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow for appointments during a lunch break or between responsibilities, helping people practice skills in their everyday settings.
