About Andrea
Andrea Lane is an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, grief, and family-related issues, and lists codependency among her additional focus areas. Andrea uses practical therapy methods to help people manage emotions and everyday struggles.
Her sessions emphasize straightforward skills and real-life strategies. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness practices and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to help clients notice thoughts and choose values-driven action.
Andrea also works with motivation and long-term patterns that keep people stuck. Motivational Interviewing techniques support shifts in readiness for change. Psychodynamic ideas are used when helpful to look at family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment themes.
People often come for help with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, living around someone else’s substance use or mood swings, and feeling stuck in relationships. Sessions include concrete tools for boundary setting, communication, managing cravings, and coping with shame or emptiness.
Her approach blends active problem-solving with reflective work on patterns that repeat across relationships. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on what someone can try between meetings. To start, prospective clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Andrea draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-driven actions. ACT is often used for anxiety, avoidance, and when someone wants clearer direction about what matters to them. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that feed distress. CBT provides concrete tools for managing anxiety, mood, cravings, and sleep problems. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Andrea treats approach selection as collaborative - she will discuss options, test what feels useful, and adjust methods based on a client’s goals and preferences. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many clients find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online work can make it simpler to try skills between sessions and to practice new communication habits in real time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques to an online setting to keep sessions practical and goal-focused.Areas of focus
