About Andrea
Andrea Schmidt is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She draws on 14 years of clinical experience to help people who are coping with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, ADHD, grief, sleep problems, and life transitions. She listens without judgment and focuses on practical steps you can use between sessions.
Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented. She often helps clients notice patterns, test small changes, and build skills for handling strong emotions like anger.
Background and approach
Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness. That means sessions mix empathy and active problem solving. Clients can expect both supportive talk and concrete strategies to try at home.
Andrea also uses narrative ideas to help people reframe difficult experiences and see new options. She works with issues tied to relationships, parenting concerns, caregiver stress, body image, and substance use among other areas. Her experience includes helping people navigate divorce, blended family challenges, and caregiving strain.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Andrea explains options clearly and helps clients choose a format that fits their day-to-day needs. She welcomes questions about how therapy could fit into someone’s routine.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and understanding what matters most to the client. Sessions emphasize nonjudgmental listening and letting the client's goals guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. Together they monitor what helps and adjust the plan over time so the work fits the client's life and progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls let you see facial cues and do skill practice together. Phone sessions work well when video is difficult or bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit regular work on stress, anger, or addiction into daily life.
