About Andrea

Andrea Hare is a Kansas-based licensed social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and sleep difficulties. She uses a practical, approachable style and focuses on real problems people bring into sessions. Conversations are direct and compassionate, aimed at reducing overwhelm and finding workable steps forward.

With four years of clinical experience, Andrea draws on methods like cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and client-centered work. Sessions often focus on communication challenges, feelings of isolation, guilt, and shame. She also addresses caregiver strain, chronic health concerns, and career or parenting stresses that affect daily life.

She pays attention to how trauma and past hurt show up now, using strategies that help people manage intense emotions and build steadier routines. When sleep is a concern, work centers on habits, thoughts, and small behavioral changes that support better rest. The aim is to make changes that fit into a person’s everyday schedule.

Andrea prefers a collaborative approach where goals are set together and progress is tracked in simple steps. She mixes practical skills with mindfulness practices to help people cope in the moment and plan for longer-term changes. Her sessions emphasize skills you can use between meetings.

People who choose Andrea can expect clear talk about what is getting in the way of wellbeing and plain tools to try at home. She supports those navigating loss, addiction concerns, intimacy issues, and major life changes while helping them build strength for the next chapter.

Approach to Online Work and Therapeutic Methods

Andrea commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them, which can help when life feels off course. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption.

She also incorporates client-centered and mindfulness elements, offering a calm, listening stance alongside active skills practice. Finding the right method is part of the process; the therapist will work with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and daily life. Treatment planning is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking so they fit your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that regular online meetings help them build consistent habits and try new coping skills between appointments.
