About Andrea

Andrea Blatchley is a California-licensed LMFT who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family and parenting concerns, and mood-related challenges. With 15 years of clinical experience, she emphasizes creating a welcoming space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings without judgment.

Background and approach

Her practice supports clients facing life transitions, career pressures, anger, self-esteem struggles, and ADHD-related concerns through practical strategies and collaborative care. Andrea draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused techniques to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

She aims to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, develop clearer communication, and work toward manageable steps that produce change. Whether addressing communication problems, control issues, divorce or separation, forgiveness, or young adult issues, her approach blends empathy with structured tools to support progress.

Clients can expect a therapist who values courage and partnership in the work of personal growth. Andrea encourages active participation in setting goals and choosing methods that fit individual preferences and circumstances, guiding clients toward more adaptive thinking and practical coping skills.

Approaches for Online Progress and Practical Change



Andrea integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered therapy to help clients address present problems and build coping skills. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors through practical exercises, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and active listening, creating a collaborative environment where clients' values and experiences guide the work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Andrea collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. She works together with each person to set priorities, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what is most helpful, making the process flexible and responsive to individual needs.

Online sessions offer practical benefits such as scheduling flexibility and broader access to consistent care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions, practice skills in day-to-day life, and engage in therapy from locations that suit the client's routine and comfort.
