About Andrea
Andrea Hickle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and career-related challenges.
Background and approach
She draws on seven years of experience in hospitals, schools, independent practice, and systems-level program work to understand how relationships, environment, and life transitions shape mental health. Her background includes considerable work with blended, foster, and adoptive families, supporting them through identity questions, shifting roles, and communication hurdles.
She emphasizes building trust and stability within family systems while also supporting individuals facing low motivation, grief, compassion fatigue, and parenting stresses. Andrea aims to offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and able to explore change.
Andrea integrates practical, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered, mindfulness, and motivational strategies to tailor work to each person’s needs. She approaches therapy collaboratively, helping people identify goals and small steps toward greater balance and clearer priorities.
Reaching out is framed as a courageous first step, and Andrea focuses on meeting clients where they are and walking alongside them through transitions and challenges.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Andrea often incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, mood, and stress. CBT techniques focus on changing thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and collaborative goal setting.She also uses client-centered therapy to create an empathetic, nonjudgmental environment where a person’s experiences and values guide the work. This approach emphasizes active listening, reflection, and supporting clients as they explore personal goals and meaning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will work with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, combining techniques when helpful and adjusting plans as goals evolve. The therapist’s role is to support clients in selecting strategies that match their preferences and day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to access consistent support from Indiana-based licensed professionals without needing to travel, making it easier to maintain momentum between appointments and practice skills in real-world contexts.
