Andrea Baker, LMHC

Andrea Baker is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief, trauma and codependency-related patterns. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, career questions, and health-related life changes.

Andrea began her career in therapeutic foster care, helping children and parents learn practical life and parenting skills. For the last two decades she has worked in hospital settings, supporting people through medical and acute health crises. That experience shaped how she helps clients manage strong emotions and make short-term plans when life feels overwhelming.

In sessions she uses straightforward, goal-oriented methods. She helps people learn coping skills, practice clearer communication, and build confidence with small, doable steps. She also works with grief and loss, offering ways to process difficult events without overwhelming the day-to-day.

Andrea has a focus on perinatal concerns and supports women adjusting to life after a baby, including those who describe feeling overwhelmed or experiencing postpartum depression. She provides supportive counseling for people navigating serious illness and caregiver stress, drawing on years of hospital-based work.

Her style centers on listening to each person’s priorities and helping them create practical action plans. She uses Client-Centered approaches alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused work to help people move toward clearer choices and steadier routines.
