About Andrea
Andrea Maxwell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and grief. She supports individuals dealing with trauma, addiction, bipolar mood concerns, and parenting or family-related struggles. Her tone is calm and straightforward, aimed at people who want practical help and clearer coping tools.
Andrea uses a person-centered approach that treats each client as the expert on their life. She listens first, then helps people name their goals and find small steps that fit their daily life.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on real problems and doable strategies rather than jargon. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs to find their own reasons to make a change.
Trauma-focused methods help when past events are getting in the way of current functioning. Andrea has three years of experience as an LPC and has worked with a range of concerns across different ages. She often helps people untangle family-of-origin issues, adoption and foster care histories, and the stress that comes with major life transitions.
Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. People who work with Andrea can expect clear steps, practical coping skills, and a steady focus on what matters to them. She aims to help clients build stronger day-to-day routines, reduce intense reactions, and move toward the life they want.

How Andrea’s Approaches Work Online
Andrea blends person-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. CBT is practical and goal-focused, and it can help with anxiety, panic, mood, and anger by teaching new ways to respond to triggers.She also uses trauma-focused therapy to address the impact of past events on current life. This approach looks at how trauma affects reactions and relationships and then works on concrete skills to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Motivational interviewing may be used when someone is deciding to change habits or address addictive behavior by identifying personal goals and boosting internal motivation.
Finding the right method is part of therapy. Andrea will work together with each client to pick approaches that fit their goals, pace, and comfort level. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what a person needs most rather than following one fixed path.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work, and live chat or text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing written support. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
