About Andrea

Andrea LeBeau is a licensed clinical social worker (LSCSW) practicing in Kansas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, self-esteem, eating-related issues, anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

She brings seven years of experience working in child welfare and family-based settings, where her work emphasized keeping families together through both individual and family therapy. Her background also includes crisis counseling experience from time spent with the National Suicide Hotline and supervising therapists who support families involved with the foster care system.

Her approach centers on a client-focused stance that combines empathy with clear, direct feedback. Andrea draws on a mix of evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, narrative approaches, motivational interviewing, and client-centered principles to match interventions to individual needs.

She aims to build a respectful therapeutic relationship and offers responsive communication options through messaging and scheduled sessions to accommodate different preferences and life demands.

Approaches that inform online care

Many clients find cognitive behavioral strategies useful for identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; CBT offers concrete tools for managing anxiety, low mood, and patterns that contribute to stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps clarify goals and values. Mindfulness-based techniques support learning present-focused awareness and stress-reduction skills that can be integrated into daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Andrea works collaboratively to determine which methods best match a person's goals and preferences. She combines elements from different approaches to create a plan that aligns with what the client wants to accomplish, and checks in regularly to adjust direction as needed.

Online work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it possible to access therapy with greater flexibility. These formats allow scheduling around work and family responsibilities and let clients use a mix of synchronous and asynchronous communication to maintain continuity of care and practice skills between sessions.
