About Andrea
Andrea Phillips is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri who helps people manage strong emotions and life changes. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, anger, and struggles with self-esteem. Andrea focuses on practical steps people can use day to day to feel steadier and more in control.
She believes each person knows their story best and brings that knowledge into sessions. Andrea offers a calm, listening presence and helps clients identify strengths they already have.
Background and approach
Conversations are aimed at building small skills that make a real difference between sessions. Andrea draws on several tested approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to provide steady, nonjudgmental support during hard conversations. For people who carry trauma, Andrea also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to work through painful memories and the feelings that come with them. She explains options clearly and helps each person choose what feels right.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Andrea helps people set realistic goals, practice new habits, and check progress together. The aim is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

How Andrea’s approaches translate to online care
Andrea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions and reviewed over video or text. Client-Centered Therapy shows up as a steady, listening stance where the person leads the pace and the therapist reflects and supports their choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and process strong emotions and improve how they connect to those feelings, which can be explored safely in conversation online.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. The therapist and client decide together and adjust plans as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different lives. Video is useful for deeper conversation and real-time feedback, phone can work when bandwidth is low, live chat suits quick check-ins or notes between sessions, and messaging supports step-by-step exercises and follow-up. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
