D'andrea WashburnLPC

D'andrea Washburn is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 26 years of clinical experience. She brings a calm, attuned presence to sessions and aims to create a respectful, encouraging space where people feel heard and ready to make changes. Her work often focuses on relationships, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes including pregnancy and childbirth related concerns.

She takes a skills-based approach that uses practical behavioral tools and psycho-education. Sessions emphasize developing self-awareness, building coping skills, and strengthening day-to-day functioning. Clients can expect concrete strategies they can use between appointments.

Washburn describes her practice as trauma-informed, with attention to safety, empowerment, and collaboration. She will integrate a faith-sensitive perspective when a client wants that included. The overall focus is on helping people gain insight and build resilience rather than offering quick fixes.

Her background spans many related concerns such as postpartum depression, mood disorders, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, substance use, and issues tied to adoption, divorce, aging, and blended families. That range reflects long experience working with complex, overlapping problems.

Sessions aim to be practical and goal-oriented. D'andrea helps people identify small, manageable steps and supports steady progress toward their goals.

Therapeutic approaches and making online therapy work

D'andrea uses evidence-based behavioral techniques that teach concrete skills for managing mood, anxiety, panic attacks, and compulsive behaviors. These tools often include step-by-step coping strategies, behavioral experiments, and routines that help reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also draws on trauma-informed methods that focus on safety, empowerment, and paced progress. This approach helps people who have experienced abuse, post-traumatic stress, or other trauma-related concerns by prioritizing stability and client choice while working through difficult memories and reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and life situation and then try methods that fit. If something isn't working, she will adjust the plan so the work stays relevant and helpful.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments during pregnancy, postpartum recovery, work commitments, or caregiving.
