About Andrea
Andrea Strayer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Indiana with eight years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family conflict, anger, depression, and ADHD. Andrea uses practical problem-solving to help people take the next step when they feel stuck.
Andrea trained in psychology and social work, earning a BA in Psychology from Bowling Green State University and a Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University. Her background includes work in crisis situations and direct clinical practice, which informs a straightforward, task-oriented style.
She practices a solution-focused approach. That means sessions begin by identifying a specific challenge. Then she and the client make a clear plan to address it. The emphasis is on real steps that can be tried between meetings.
Andrea also works with issues commonly connected to mood and behavior, including caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, control issues, and workplace strain. She addresses impulse and anger-related concerns along with panic and trauma-related symptoms.
Sessions aim to resolve pressing problems and build skills for day-to-day life. Andrea keeps language simple and actionable. People who want straightforward strategies for managing stress, improving communication, or reducing symptoms often find this approach useful.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based techniques fit into online sessions
Andrea works from a solution-focused framework that breaks problems into specific, manageable steps. This approach helps people set clear goals, try concrete strategies between sessions, and review what worked. It is useful for stress, workplace issues, and everyday problems where small changes add up.She also draws on practical techniques for mood and anxiety. These techniques teach short-term coping skills, breathing or grounding options for panic symptoms, and ways to interrupt impulsive or angry reactions. The focus is on actions clients can use right away when symptoms start.
Finding the right method is a collaborative process. Andrea will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend which techniques to try first. Plans are reviewed and adjusted based on what helps in real life rather than sticking to a single method.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time to appointments. Discussing scheduling preferences and practical needs happens during the first conversation so sessions can be structured to fit daily routines.
