Andrea Joyce, LCPC, LMHC

Andrea Joyce is a licensed counselor who has worked in mental health for over two decades. She holds the credentials LCPC and LMHC and practices from Nebraska. Andrea focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and related concerns. Andrea uses practical, person-centered methods in sessions. She listens first, then helps clients set clear goals and small steps toward them. Sessions emphasize building skills for coping with life changes, relationships, mood shifts, ADHD challenges, and issues tied to family history. Her background includes work in agency and university settings and collaborations with law enforcement and foster care systems. This range has shaped a flexible approach that blends short-term problem solving with attention to deeper trauma and loss. She brings 23 years of experience to clinical decision making. In the room Andrea blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness and solution-focused strategies. She helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, practice new behaviors, and use grounding or awareness exercises to reduce overwhelm. For those with trauma histories she incorporates trauma-focused techniques alongside stabilization work. Clients can expect a direct but warm style. Andrea aims to meet each person where they are, build on existing strengths, and practice skills that fit daily life. She frames progress as steady steps forward rather than sudden fixes. People who want focused, goal-oriented work with attention to past hurts may find this style helpful. Andrea concentrates on practical changes while honoring the experiences that brought someone to therapy.

How Andrea’s approaches translate to online therapy

Andrea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and many daily challenges. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her practice, which means conversations focus on the client's priorities and pacing rather than a rigid agenda. Mindfulness Therapy appears in sessions as simple attention and grounding practices to reduce stress and increase present-moment awareness.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Andrea will discuss your goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust techniques over time based on what feels most helpful and practical for your life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you work face to face when schedules allow, phone sessions can fit a short break or lower bandwidth situations, chat is good for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while keeping the focus on real-world skill building and problem solving.
