About Andrea
Andrea Villescas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and life transitions. Andrea emphasizes a straightforward, compassionate approach that helps people take practical steps toward better rest and daily functioning.
She creates a calm space where clients can talk about hard things without judgment. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person and on small, concrete changes that add up over time. Andrea draws on everyday tools to reduce overwhelm and improve routines that affect sleep and mood.
Andrea uses several evidence-informed strategies to guide work in session. She brings cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness skills are offered to help people notice stress responses and to build restful practices.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help clients clarify values and commit to actions that support better sleep and life balance. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are available for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when strong feelings get in the way of rest or recovery.
Her background includes support for people facing trauma, substance concerns, caregiving strain, work-related stress, and identity-related pressures. Andrea also works with those who experience seasonal mood changes, first responder and veteran-related issues, and multicultural or discrimination-related stress.
People who choose Andrea typically want practical strategies, steady support, and a collaborative plan for improving sleep and overall wellbeing.
Approaches that guide online work and rest-focused care
Andrea commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that interfere with sleep and daily routines. CBT helps people shift habits, adjust sleep-related behaviors, and reduce the thoughts that keep nights restless.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify values and take steady actions toward a life that supports better rest. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing behaviors that align with what matters most, even when difficult feelings remain.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit best for their goals, symptoms, and daily life. That plan can change as progress is made, and skills from multiple approaches are often combined.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and use shorter check-ins on hectic days. It can also allow practicing skills in the settings where sleep and routines actually happen, which some people find helpful.
