About Andrea
Andrea Tucker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Indiana with seven years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship problems, and concerns related to LGBT identity. Andrea also helps with career pressures, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Andrea uses clear, direct conversations to identify what is most urgent. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns of thinking and behavior that make problems worse. Sessions focus on practical strategies that can be used between meetings, such as short experiments, behavior changes, and new ways of handling difficult thoughts.
She pays attention to overlapping issues like co-morbidity and codependency, and to behaviors connected to drug and alcohol use. Andrea will talk through communication problems and impulsivity, and address feelings like guilt, shame, and isolation. Sexuality and questions of self-love are also part of her work.
Andrea describes her role as a steady professional presence who listens and responds without judgment. She and the client set clear goals and check progress along the way. The emphasis is on workable steps that fit into everyday life, not on abstract theory.
To begin, Andrea asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; confirm current session options before booking.
BHow sessions work
How CBT and practical talk translate to online care
Andrea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot automatic thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT offers concrete exercises and short experiments that can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change unhelpful reactions.In conversation she focuses on clear goals and measurable steps. Finding the right approach is collaborative: the therapist and client review what helps, adjust techniques, and pick strategies that match the client's goals and daily schedule.
Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel. They can also make it simpler to use CBT homework in real time during the week. Ask about current session formats when you sign up so you know how meetings will be arranged.
