About Andrea
Andrea Ellis is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) licensed in Maryland with three years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strains, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, self-esteem concerns, depression, ADHD, and obsessive or compulsive problems.
She focuses on clear, practical conversations. Sessions cover what is happening now at home and what feels most urgent. Andrea listens for patterns that make daily life harder, then helps people try concrete changes. Parents will find help sorting the daily strain of caregiving and the emotional toll of parenting.
Andrea adapts the tone and pace of sessions to each person. She and the client set goals together and check progress over time. That can mean learning coping skills for anxiety, practicing different ways to talk about hard topics, or creating steps to improve sleep and routines.
Her approach is straightforward and directed at daily life. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. The work often blends skill-building, focused discussion of past events, and planning for real-world changes.
People who choose Andrea can expect practical homework and regular review of what helps. She supports adults navigating family conflict, relationship strain, grief, and the challenges of balancing parenting with other life demands.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear practical tools. Cognitive techniques help people notice and change thought patterns that increase anxiety or low mood; these techniques teach specific skills to test unhelpful thoughts and build different responses. Behavioral strategies address routines, sleep, and activity levels to reduce depression and improve daily functioning; this includes small, achievable steps to rebuild rhythms that support energy and mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their situation, goals, and preferences. She reviews what helps and adjusts the plan as needed so the work stays relevant to everyday life and family responsibilities.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often use a mix of focused skills practice and conversational sessions that translate directly into coping strategies for home and parenting demands.
