About Andrea
Andrea Douglas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with 13 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, as well as parenting challenges, career strain, anger, and depression.
She works in a straightforward way that focuses on practical steps. Andrea uses approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method, and Solution-Focused Therapy depending on the situation. Sessions often look at thoughts and behaviors, relationship patterns, and short-term goals to make day-to-day life feel more manageable.
Andrea describes her method as flexible rather than one-size-fits-all. She adapts what she does to fit what a person needs in the moment. That can mean learning new coping skills, practicing communication techniques, or setting small goals to reduce overwhelm.
People who come to her for blended family issues, co-parenting strain, or loyalty conflicts will find practical guidance on boundaries, role definition, and steady communication. She also addresses issues such as abandonment fears, infidelity, and divorce and separation with attention to real-world steps.
Her background includes years of counseling across diverse cultural backgrounds. Andrea aims to help clients refocus and begin again by clarifying priorities and building concrete habits. If someone wants to explore coaching-style work or longer-term therapy, she tailors the pace and focus to what they want to change.
How Andrea applies therapy online and by approach
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's perspective. It involves listening, reflecting, and helping people name what matters most to them. This approach helps with self-esteem, life changes, and decisions about parenting or role shifts.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety or persistent negative thinking. CBT is useful for stress, depression, and changing unhelpful patterns around communication and anger.
The Gottman Method concentrates on relationship interactions and communication skills. It offers concrete tools for repairing trust, managing conflict, and improving how partners talk about stressors that affect the household.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and the current problem. She adapts techniques over time so sessions stay focused and relevant.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, or remove travel time. It can also allow choosing audio-only or video when that better suits bandwidth or a quieter setting.
