About Andrea
Andrea Coulter is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Vermont with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and concerns common to LGBT people. Andrea also lists codependency, attachment and family of origin issues among her focus areas.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She builds a working relationship and talks with clients about practical goals. She will both listen and offer challenges when that helps a person try new ways of coping.
Andrea draws from several evidence-based approaches to shape each session. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take committed steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used for shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and attachment-based ideas appear when emotion regulation or relationship patterns are central concerns.
Sessions typically focus on skills people can use between meetings. That might include boundary-setting practice, emotion regulation tools, or experiments in communicating needs. Andrea pays attention to how early relationships and abandonment or attachment wounds show up in current behavior.
People who come to Andrea often want concrete strategies and straightforward feedback. She helps clients notice what maintains patterns like people-pleasing or staying too close to someone else. Work together includes planning small steps and checking what’s working along the way.
How sessions work
How Andrea’s approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small committed steps toward those values. It helps with anxiety, avoidance, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and gives concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It helps with low mood, anxiety, and repetitive thinking. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship experiences shape current patterns and supports people in changing how they relate to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and situation. Together they try techniques, see what helps, and adjust the plan based on what actually works for the client.
The profile does not specify session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also accommodate people who prefer not to use video, need lower bandwidth options, or want to schedule sessions around work or caregiving demands. Ask about the available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions can be arranged to suit your routine.
