About Andrea

Andrea Hare is a Kansas-based licensed social worker (LSCSW) who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, compassion fatigue, and addiction.

Background and approach

She uses an evidence-informed approach that blends cognitive tools, mindfulness, acceptance strategies, and client-centered practices to address issues such as intimacy difficulties, sleeping and eating problems, parenting stress, career transitions, and coping with major life changes.

Her practice also attends to complex and overlapping challenges including trauma and abuse, family problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and concerns around fertility or end-of-life planning. Andrea combines practical skills training with empathic listening to support clients facing isolation, guilt, or shame, and she integrates motivational and dialectical methods when facing ambivalence or intense emotion.

With four years of clinical experience, she aims to help clients develop resilience and actionable strategies that fit their daily lives. Sessions focus on collaborating to identify values and goals, building coping skills, and creating stepwise plans for sustainable change while honoring each person’s individual experience.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Andrea commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to structure online work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change patterns that interfere with daily functioning. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and building willingness to experience difficult emotions while taking committed action toward meaningful life goals.

She also uses client-centered principles to create a collaborative atmosphere where the client’s perspective guides the pace and focus of treatment. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and she works with each person to determine which combination of methods best matches their needs, goals, and preferences in a step-by-step, collaborative way.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity when life changes occur. These options provide flexibility for different communication styles and can support consistent practice of skills between sessions, making therapy more accessible for people managing work, caregiving, or health-related constraints.
