Andrea Hare is a licensed social worker who helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. She brings a calm, practical approach to stress, relationship struggles, and issues around parenting and intimacy. Andrea works with concerns tied to pregnancy and childbirth as part of broader life transition support.

Andrea draws on four years of clinical experience in Kansas as an LSCSW - Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker. She uses straightforward techniques to help people manage symptoms and handle day-to-day challenges. Sessions focus on setting realistic goals, improving communication, and learning skills that make life easier.

Her style blends client-centered listening with active skill teaching. Conversations move between exploring what matters most and trying practical steps that can reduce distress. Mindfulness and behavior-focused tools are used to improve sleep, reduce worry, and increase presence during stressful moments.

Andrea also integrates acceptance-based ideas to help clients tolerate hard feelings while taking values-driven action. She employs cognitive and behavioral strategies when thoughts and habits get in the way of functioning. For people struggling with grief, trauma, or caregiving stress, she balances emotional processing with concrete coping techniques.

Clients can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth approach aimed at steady progress. Andrea helps people build resilience, clarify priorities, and find manageable ways to cope with the demands of work, family, and health. She encourages small changes that add up to lasting improvement.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Andrea commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help when life changes, including pregnancy or caregiving shifts, bring conflict between values and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It targets unhelpful thinking patterns and builds skills for managing anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on how well techniques are helping and what a person wants to prioritize.

Confirm available session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier by fitting sessions into work breaks or childcare windows, and it can reduce travel time. It also allows focus on skill-building exercises and short check-ins when life feels busy, helping therapy fit into everyday routines without promising a specific format.
