About Andrea
Andrea Bragdon is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, mood disorders, anxiety, and issues around intimacy and identity. Andrea sees English-speaking clients and accepts international clients who can work across time zones.
Andrea’s approach blends practical, talk-based work with mindfulness and acceptance strategies. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered techniques alongside solution-focused methods to help people make changes that matter in day-to-day life. Sessions often center on clear goals, manageable steps, and noticing what matters most to the client.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about difficult topics. Andrea draws on a mix of coaching and counseling skills to address family-of-origin concerns, body image, relationship communication, and sexual culture topics such as BDSM and kink. She also works with people managing chronic pain, illness, or disability and with mood-related concerns including bipolar disorder and depression.
Her background includes years of counseling plus experience as a life coach and energy healer. That mix informs a flexible style which can include visualization, inner-child work, and mind-body connection practices when they fit the client’s goals. Andrea frames work around practical tools and brief experiments to try between sessions.
Typical sessions focus on concrete steps - improving communication, reducing avoidance, and building small routines. For people juggling parenting and work, she aims to keep interventions short and usable. To start, readers are invited to confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Andrea commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action toward them while accepting difficult feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes by making values-based choices more visible.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment noticing. It is often used for stress, chronic pain management, and to reduce rumination. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients can find their own solutions; it supports self-esteem and identity questions through non-directive dialogue.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. Many clients try a mix of techniques before settling on a rhythm that feels useful.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises like brief mindfulness practices or solution-focused homework to an online setting so tools are usable between meetings.
