About Andrea

Andrea Hare is a Kansas-based licensed social worker, LSCSW, with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, compassion fatigue, and codependency. Andrea speaks English and practices from Kansas.

Andrea focuses on practical problem solving. She helps people name patterns that leave them putting others first. Sessions often include identifying what someone wants, and small steps to protect their time and energy. She talks through communication problems, guilt, shame, and control issues in straightforward language.

Her work draws on cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thinking and on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and next steps. Mindfulness techniques and skills from dialectical behavior therapy can be added when people need emotion regulation or distress-tolerance strategies. Client-centered methods shape the conversation so the person leads what matters most.

Andrea has experience supporting caregivers, veterans, people dealing with chronic illness, and those navigating adoption, foster care, or end-of-life concerns. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, addictions, sleep and eating struggles, and career or parenting stresses. Her approach is practical and focused on what changes feel doable day to day.

People who prefer plain talk and stepwise plans may find this approach useful. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats to make sure they fit your schedule and needs.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small, values-based steps. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and patterns like people-pleasing by making actions line up with priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation; it can support coping with grief, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue.

Choosing an approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to try one method and adjust based on what helps most. Goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands shape the plan rather than a fixed protocol.

Confirm current session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. Many people find online sessions fit better into work and family life, offering easier scheduling and shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to use exercises during the week, but check which session formats are available to see how they would fit your routine.
