About Andrea

Andrea Strayer is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. She brings eight years of professional experience and focuses on practical steps families and individuals can use to feel steadier day to day. She uses a solution-focused approach that identifies the problem, builds a clear plan, and tests steps that can make life easier.

Sessions are action-oriented and grounded in real-life needs rather than abstract theory.

Background and approach

That makes work feel straightforward and measurable. Andrea draws on experience supporting people with attention challenges, panic, mood struggles, and relationship tensions. She also addresses caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, workplace stress, and issues around separation and communication.

Her work pays attention to how these problems affect everyday routines and responsibilities. Her training includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Bowling Green State University and a Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University. Andrea practices in Indiana as an LCSW and leans toward approaches that produce concrete change in small steps.

In sessions she helps people set short-term goals and track progress toward longer-term aims. She prefers straightforward conversation, clear planning, and practical experiments clients can try between meetings. The aim is steady improvement that fits into a busy life.

Online support

Evidence-based steps you can use online

Andrea emphasizes practical, evidence-based techniques that aim for clear change. One common approach is solution-focused work, which narrows a problem into small, testable steps. Clients set a specific goal, try a short exercise between sessions, and review what worked to shape the next step. This method helps with stress, anxiety, and everyday struggles like workplace tension or communication problems.

Another helpful technique involves skills for mood and anxiety management. This includes learning simple strategies to interrupt panic, manage impulsivity, and build steady routines that support mood. These tools are taught in short, concrete exercises that clients can practice in the moments they need them most.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust based on what helps. Clients often combine steps from different techniques until they find what works best for them.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat or text messaging can work for quick check-ins or brief updates. This range of options helps people fit therapy into busy schedules and varied daily routines.
