Andrea Joyce, LCPC, LMHC

Andrea Joyce is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Clinician) with 23 years of experience. She practices in Nebraska and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, and issues such as ADHD and mood disorders. Andrea’s background includes work in agency and university settings and experience with law enforcement and foster care systems.

Andrea uses straightforward, person-centered work in sessions. She listens to what has happened and helps people decide what matters most now. Conversations focus on small, practical steps that reduce overwhelm. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness practices to help with strong feelings.

When trauma is part of the story, Andrea uses trauma-informed methods to help people process difficult memories and reactions. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and track progress. This combination helps with immediate coping and longer-term changes.

Her experience includes collaboration with juvenile court and foster care systems, and she has worked alongside first responders. That background informs how she talks about stress, boundary-setting, and life transitions. Andrea often helps people who struggle with people-pleasing, codependent patterns, control issues, or whose lives are shaped by someone else’s moods or crises.

To begin, she asks about current struggles and practical goals. Sessions move at a steady, realistic pace and focus on skills people can use between meetings. The emphasis is on clearer choices, firmer boundaries, and day-to-day improvements.
