About Andra
Andra Blackheart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with five years of experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, and the stresses that come with life changes. Her work also addresses anxiety, depression, ADHD, and LGBT-related issues alongside family and career stressors.
Andra often hears from people who feel disconnected from themselves after a life change or a traumatic event. She also sees adults who want clearer connections with others, whether that means building friendships, strengthening parental bonds, or improving romantic intimacy. She describes particular experience supporting neurodivergent adults who want to feel more connected to themselves and to others.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral ideas, alongside existential thinking and mindfulness. She uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help people identify practical next steps and build on existing strengths. Sessions tend to focus on small, reachable changes that fit into everyday life.
Andra offers evaluations related to Autism and complex post-traumatic stress concerns, and can provide documentation such as emotional support animal letters where appropriate. She also mentions coaching options alongside therapy, aiming to help people use accommodations and social supports effectively.
People who come to Andra can expect direct conversation about goals and options. She asks about what already helps, then works with each person to try different strategies. To begin, readers are asked to use the site matching tools to schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs space to name values and make choices that feel right to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by giving clear tools to try between sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Andra will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first based on their goals and what has or hasn't worked before. She checks in and adjusts the plan as needed so sessions remain practical and focused on measurable steps.
Confirm the exact session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and let someone return to their routine quickly after a short check-in. Different approaches also shape session tasks - CBT may include brief homework, while client-centered work can begin with open conversation and pacing that suits the individual.
