    About Andrea

    Andrea Bragdon is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who blends practical talk with gentle encouragement. She uses Motivational Interviewing alongside other approaches to help people find the next workable step. Andrea keeps sessions down to earth and focuses on what the person needs now.

    Andrea has seven years of clinical experience and has helped people facing depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and stress from life changes. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, sexual trauma, and challenges tied to family of origin. Work around self-esteem, career decisions, and mood concerns is part of her practice as well.

    Her style is warm and supportive, with room for a little humor when it helps. She listens closely and tailors conversations and plans to each person. Therapy may include mindfulness, solution-focused exercises, acceptance and commitment ideas, and coaching techniques.

    Andrea also attends to areas that can feel stigmatized, including kink and alternative sex culture, polyamory, and body image struggles. She works with chronic pain, illness, and disability concerns and with people navigating separation or divorce. Sessions aim to be practical and goal-oriented while honoring emotional experience.

    Andrea holds licenses as LMHC and LCPC and practices in Florida. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, people use the site Start Therapy button and complete a short questionnaire to match and schedule.

  2. How Andrea’s approaches translate to online therapy

    Andrea often uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their own reasons for change and to identify small, achievable steps. This approach is helpful for goals like improving mood, reducing risky behavior, or making career and lifestyle changes.

    She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and values and taking actions that match what matters most. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and life transitions because it emphasizes actions tied to personal values. Client-Centered Therapy is another strand of her work, which centers on listening, empathy, and following the person’s lead to build trust and understanding.

    Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit the problem, and adjust as needed. Clients help set priorities and decide which techniques feel most helpful for them.

    The source biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can schedule around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness exercises, motivational conversations, and solution-focused planning to remote sessions when those formats are available.
