About Andrea
Andrea Levitan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of clinical experience, licensed in Missouri and Kansas. She works with people dealing with relationship strain, family and parenting concerns, depression, anxiety, stress, grief, intimacy issues, and self-esteem struggles. Andrea also focuses on areas like attachment, communication problems, codependency, divorce and separation, and fatherhood issues.
Her approach is direct and practical. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns and try new ways of relating. Sessions often include talking through feelings, learning coping skills, and practicing different communication techniques.
Andrea describes therapy as a process that asks for commitment and honesty. She encourages clients to face difficult emotions and to take concrete steps toward change. She also views physical health and movement as part of recovery, noting how exercise can affect mood and stress.
Clients can expect focused listening and a plan that addresses their immediate concerns as well as longer-term patterns. Andrea blends practical tools with reflective work aimed at identifying buried emotions and shifting unhelpful habits. She aims to help people move past early hurdles so progress becomes more manageable.
Andrea trained at Avila University in Kansas City, Missouri, where she earned a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology. She holds LPC credentials in Missouri and Kansas and mentions additional study in fitness to support mind-body connections.
How sessions work
How Andrea’s approaches translate to online work
Andrea integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in ways that fit online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. EFT centers on emotional experience and attachment, helping people name feelings and shift how they relate to important others.She also uses Imago Relationship Therapy ideas to improve communication patterns and reduce blame in close relationships. These methods are conversational and skill-oriented, so they adapt to remote sessions where people talk through patterns and practice new responses together.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and collaborate to choose techniques that fit the person’s needs. That may mean starting with short practical exercises and moving to deeper emotional work over time.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Therapists can also use mindfulness exercises or behavioral homework between meetings to keep progress moving.
