About Andrea
Andrea Levitan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of experience practicing in Kansas and Missouri. She works with relationship concerns, family and parenting stress, depression, anxiety, grief, intimacy issues, self-esteem, and career-related worries. Andrea also focuses on attachment issues, body image, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and other family-of-origin concerns.
Andrea invites people who are ready to learn about their emotional lives and to do the work that follows. She describes the early steps as uncomfortable but manageable and aims to help clients move past those first hurdles. Her approach blends practical strategies with attention to buried emotions that keep people stuck.
She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot thinking patterns that keep guilt or shame alive. She also draws on emotionally focused approaches to look at how feelings show up in relationships. Mindfulness tools and motivational techniques are part of how she helps people build new habits and clearer choices.
Andrea trained at Avila University in Kansas City, Missouri, where she earned a master’s degree in counseling psychology. She holds LPC credentials in Missouri and Kansas. She also completed a certification as a personal trainer, reflecting an interest in how exercise and mental health interact.
In sessions she aims to offer direct listening, practical coping skills, and a perspective that looks beyond the obvious. People often come for help untangling guilt and shame tied to family, faith, or past choices, and to learn clearer ways of relating to others and themselves.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Andrea uses cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice and change thinking patterns that fuel guilt or shame. CBT often involves tracking thoughts, testing unhelpful beliefs, and practicing small behavioral changes to see what shifts.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to map how emotions and attachment needs appear in close relationships. EFT-oriented work looks at patterns between partners or within oneself and helps name feelings so people can connect differently in relationship moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort. That choice can change as sessions progress, and she adjusts tools and exercises to what proves useful.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit conversations into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. During remote sessions she adapts CBT exercises, emotion-focused conversations, and mindfulness practices so they work in a virtual setting.
