Andrea Douglas, LPC

Andrea Douglas is a Licensed Professional Counselor with thirteen years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting strain, and life transitions. She practices from Alabama and works with adults who want practical tools for coping, clearer communication, and healthier self-regard.

Andrea favors straightforward, goal-focused work. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She pairs this with client-centered ways of listening so each person feels heard while developing concrete changes.

Her background includes work across a range of relationship and family concerns such as communication problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and infidelity. She also supports people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, feelings of emptiness, and body image or self-esteem struggles.

Sessions tend to focus on small, doable steps. That might mean practicing different ways to talk about needs, trying a new routine to reduce anxiety, or reframing negative self-talk. Andrea aims to help people take control, refocus, and begin again when life feels stuck.

She offers multiple session formats so therapy can fit busy schedules. People who reach out complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule appointments according to availability.

How these approaches work online

Andrea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thinking patterns that increase anxiety or low mood and then try new behaviors to test different outcomes. Client-Centered Therapy is also central to her work and means sessions focus on empathic listening and following the person's pace and goals rather than imposing a fixed plan.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andrea will work collaboratively to select techniques that match a person's needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods over time as progress is made.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into real life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations for skills practice and deep discussion. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing reflection between sessions and let people share thoughts in writing when that feels more comfortable.
