About Andrea

Andrea Schmidt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Colorado. She has 15 years of experience helping people with addiction, trauma, relationships, parenting, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. She focuses on clear, practical steps so clients can understand why they react the way they do and make changes that match their goals.

Andrea uses a person-centered, relational style. She listens first and guides conversations so clients feel heard.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on building awareness of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. That awareness becomes the starting point for change. Her work often combines cognitive behavioral techniques with solution-focused and attachment-based ideas.

Andrea helps people notice unhelpful thinking, consider alternatives, and try small, doable changes. She also uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change, especially around substance use and recovery. Practical skill building is central to her approach.

Clients can expect tools for managing stress, reducing anxiety, navigating family and relationship problems, and addressing patterns tied to trauma or attachment. Andrea aims for clear steps rather than vague theories. She sees therapy as a collaborative process.

Andrea encourages willingness to look inward and use strengths to shift patterns of shame, isolation, or self-blame. Her goal is to help clients move toward greater self-acceptance and healthier choices.

Online support

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Andrea often blends cognitive behavioral ideas with attachment-based and solution-focused work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and impulsive behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways to connect and trust. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and immediate goals to create forward movement rather than focusing only on the past.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She listens to what matters most and adjusts the mix of techniques as progress is made, keeping sessions focused and goal-oriented.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or when a written check-in fits a client's schedule. These formats make it easier to fit regular work on goals into a daily routine.
