Andrea Hamilton, LPC, LMHC

Andrea Hamilton is a licensed counselor who draws on nearly two decades of experience. She holds a master’s in Counselor Education and an MBA from Florida Atlantic University and practices in Florida as an LPC and LMHC. Andrea speaks English and brings practical, direct help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and addiction concerns.

She spent much of her career in the child welfare system, working with children and families. That work gave her experience navigating complex systems and coordinating care with other services. Andrea also has experience supporting people affected by sexual assault and working with people in the prison system across Dade and Broward Counties.

Her background includes helping start a female therapeutic group home in Broward County and a co-ed group home shelter in Dade County. She has also worked with the substance abuse population, which informs how she approaches addiction-related concerns today. Andrea aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on real-life problems.

Andrea tends to favor practical strategies that people can use between sessions. She helps clients talk through current challenges, develop routines that support recovery, and set manageable goals. Her style is down-to-earth and goal oriented, with attention to how life events and relationships affect mood and behavior.

People who want support with grief, trauma, parenting stress, eating concerns, bipolar mood management, ADHD, or coping with life changes may find her experience relevant. For anyone ready to begin, confirm current session options before booking and follow the site process to match and schedule.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Andrea’s work is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses is problem-focused work that breaks down big concerns into clear steps and small goals; this helps when anxiety, addiction, or relationship stress feel overwhelming. Another key element is skills-based training that teaches routines and coping methods people can practice between sessions to manage moods and cravings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will work with each person to identify goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan as needed. She aims to match methods to a person’s needs, priorities, and everyday schedule rather than prescribing one fixed path.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography did not list them. In general, online care can make it easier to fit therapy into work or family life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing work with a therapist when people move within the same state. Discuss format preferences during the matching process to find an arrangement that fits your life and goals.
