About Andree

Andree McColl-Ravanelli is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in California. She brings seven years of professional experience to sessions and focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, trauma, and LGBTQ concerns. Andree centers the person's own strengths and choices when planning care.

She listens for what matters most and works with each person to set clear, achievable goals. Conversations cover confidence, motivation, self-esteem, and navigating identity or sexuality concerns.

Background and approach

When trauma or abuse is part of the story, she helps people name what happened and find manageable steps forward. Andree also addresses life transitions such as divorce, midlife questions, and financial strain. Caregiver stress and communication problems are brought into sessions with an eye toward usable strategies.

The aim is to reduce daily overwhelm and make space for clearer decisions. Sessions weave problem-solving with practical skill-building so people leave with tools they can use. She emphasizes the client as the expert in their life and partners with them to bolster strengths.

That collaborative stance guides how goals are chosen and reviewed over time. People who want straightforward, skills-focused support tend to do well with her style. Conversations are paced to each person’s needs and can include short-term goals or longer work on identity, relationships, and self-love.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Andree uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps people can use. One common approach helps people manage anxiety and stress by teaching breathing and attention skills, pacing exposure to difficult feelings, and building steady daily routines to reduce overwhelm. Another approach focuses on trauma recovery by helping people name traumatic experiences, process emotions at a manageable pace, and practice skills that increase a sense of control and safety in daily life.

Choosing the best approach is collaborative. Andree will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and check in regularly to adjust the plan as needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility for scheduling and for how people take part. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and a fuller exchange of nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when video is difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging works well for short check-ins, brief skill practice, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep consistent momentum between sessions.
