About Andrea
Andrea Hare is a Kansas-licensed clinical social worker (LSCSW) with four years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and guilt and shame. Andrea focuses on practical concerns like sleep, eating, parenting challenges, and career stress.
Andrea uses clear, person-focused conversation to help people untangle painful feelings. She listens for patterns in how guilt or shame show up and helps name them. Sessions often include straightforward tools for coping with overwhelming emotions and improving day-to-day functioning.
Her background includes work with people facing caregiving stress, chronic health issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and veteran-related challenges. She also supports those navigating intimacy-related problems, codependency, and domestic violence histories. Andrea draws on several evidence-informed methods to match what each person needs.
In practice she combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness skills. She may introduce acceptance-based strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and emotional regulation skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful. The focus is on small, usable steps rather than abstract theory.
People come to Andrea when life changes feel heavy or when persistent guilt and shame get in the way of daily life. She encourages practical routines around sleep and eating, communication skills for strained relationships, and ways to manage stress without adding more pressure.

How Andrea applies therapy approaches when meeting online
Client-centered therapy starts with listening and reflecting. It focuses on what matters to the person and helps them clarify feelings and goals. This approach is useful for sorting through guilt, grief, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep distress going. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build new routines for sleep, eating, and coping with anxiety. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) adds techniques for noticing difficult thoughts without getting stuck and choosing actions that match personal values. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That way sessions focus on what is most helpful rather than a single fixed method. Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits can help people keep therapy consistent while they address guilt, shame, stress, and everyday challenges.Areas of expertise
