Andrea Hare, LSCSW

Andrea Hare is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She uses practical approaches to tackle things like sleep troubles, low self-esteem, substance issues, and parenting strain. Andrea brings four years of experience as an LSCSW and works with adults facing major life changes or caregiving pressures.

She prefers straightforward conversations and clear goals. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Clients can expect a mix of skills practice and reflective discussion aimed at real-world problems.

Andrea draws from cognitive behavioral ideas alongside acceptance and commitment strategies. She also uses client-centered methods and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and make different choices. Dialectical behavior strategies are available when people need help with strong emotions and distress tolerance.

Her background includes supporting people coping with chronic illness, adoption and foster care issues, end-of-life and hospice concerns, and veteran-related challenges. She also addresses communication problems, codependency, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse.

Andrea aims to collaborate with each person to set priorities and build workable plans. She helps clients practice skills between sessions and tailor approaches to daily life. Her practice is based in Kansas and services are offered in English.

Approach-based care delivered online

Andrea commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thought patterns and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety or depression. She also employs Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take steps toward a meaningful life even with difficult feelings. Client-centered methods guide the pace and focus so each person sets priorities and leads the direction of work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with clients to choose or blend methods based on their goals, needs, and preferences. This is a collaborative decision and can change over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and messaging supports short updates or reflection between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy days.
