Andrea Bragdon , LMHC, LCPC

Andrea Bragdon, LMHC, LCPC, is a licensed mental health professional with seven years of clinical experience and additional background as an energy healer and life coach. She blends clinical training with holistic perspectives to support people facing depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, struggles with self-esteem, career and entrepreneurial challenges, and complex family-of-origin concerns. Andrea has worked with many clients who have experienced emotional, sexual, or physical trauma and she draws on that experience to offer sensitive, informed care.

Her style is warm and supportive, often incorporating a gentle sense of humor alongside respect and compassion. She uses an eclectic mix of methods - including mindfulness and solution-focused strategies, inner-child work, visualization, coaching, mind-body approaches, shadow work, internal family systems techniques, and elements of NLP - and she adapts dialogue and treatment plans to each person’s needs. Andrea emphasizes collaboration and tailors interventions to help clients build resilience and move toward more fulfilling lives.

Andrea invites people who are ready to take steps toward change to engage in a process that balances practical tools with personal exploration. She aims to empower clients to find clearer direction, stronger coping skills, and greater self-understanding through individualized care.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Andrea integrates several evidence-informed approaches to meet different needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and take committed action toward meaningful goals - it is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-discovery - this approach is helpful for building self-esteem and repairing relationship wounds. Mindfulness Therapy teaches practices for staying present and noticing internal experience with curiosity, which can reduce reactivity to stress and support emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrea works collaboratively with each person to explore what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time based on what is helpful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, support continuity during life changes, and allow people to engage in therapy from locations that are convenient for them.
