About Andrea
Andrea Hamilton is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 19 years of clinical experience. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology, a master’s in counselor education, and an MBA from Florida Atlantic University. Andrea practices from Florida and offers sessions in English.
Her work focuses on common problems like stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship concerns. She also helps people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Background and approach
She supports clients dealing with career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and eating concerns. Andrea has a long history in child welfare and has spent much of her career supporting children and families in that system. She has also worked with people affected by substance abuse, survivors of sexual assault, and clients in the prison system across Dade and Broward counties.
Her experience includes helping to open residential programs - a female therapeutic group home in Broward County and a co-ed group home shelter in Dade County. Those roles gave her experience coordinating care, running groups, and working within community services. Sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

What Andrea works with
Everything Andrea lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Andrea's practice.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Andrea works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are practical and goal-focused. One common approach emphasizes skill building for managing strong emotions and anger, teaching steps to notice triggers, apply breathing and grounding skills, and choose healthier responses. This helps people restore calm and handle stressful moments more effectively.Another helpful method focuses on coping with trauma and abuse by pacing conversations, stabilizing symptoms, and strengthening day-to-day coping. This approach aims to reduce distressing reactions and build routines that support recovery. A third area addresses addiction and relapse prevention through structured relapse plans, identifying high-risk situations, and building alternative behaviors.
Finding the right fit is a shared process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to pick or adapt approaches based on needs, goals, and what feels workable for them. Adjustments are made over time as progress and preferences become clearer.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skills work and deeper check-ins. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer quick access for brief updates, homework support, or check-ins between sessions. These formats give flexibility to fit sessions around work, caregiving, and travel while keeping focus on practical tools and steady progress.
