Andrea Schmidt, LMHC

Andrea Schmidt is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, and ADHD. She also supports clients facing relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, self-esteem concerns, and major life changes. Andrea brings 14 years of experience to her work and focuses on practical, down-to-earth support.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She listens first and helps people name the problems that feel most urgent. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that fit into daily life. Andrea aims to help people find clearer ways to cope and make changes that last.

Andrea blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior ideas. She uses mindfulness and narrative approaches when they help a person reframe painful memories or change unhelpful thinking. The goal is to match methods to each person's needs rather than use the same plan for everyone.

Over her years as a clinician Andrea has worked with many concerns related to addiction, mood, and daily stressors. She describes herself as empathetic and encouraging and emphasizes collaboration with clients. Her training includes a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and she holds Florida LMHC licensure.

Sessions are conducted in English from her Florida practice. Andrea asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to help plan the first session and the right focus for therapy.

How Andrea’s Approaches Work in Online Therapy

Andrea often uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and following the client's lead to set goals and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs emotional support and a space to talk through difficult choices.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many addiction-related habits because it breaks problems into steps that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. Andrea will work with each person to decide which approaches best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness, CBT exercises, and narrative work to virtual sessions so therapy remains active and goal-focused.
