Andrea LeBeau , LSCSW

Andrea LeBeau is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) practicing in Kansas with seven years of experience in therapeutic work. She earned her social work degree from the University of Kansas in 2017 and has spent much of her career in the child welfare field, focusing on family-based and individual therapy designed to help families stay together and improve functioning.

Her clinical experience includes supporting people facing anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, self-harm, self-esteem challenges, truancy, complex family dynamics, domestic violence, and post-traumatic stress. Andrea has also contributed crisis counseling skills through prior work with the National Suicide Hotline and currently works full time supervising therapists who provide services to families involved in the foster care system.

Andrea’s approach to counseling is client-centered and collaborative; she believes the person in therapy is the expert on their life and combines empathy with direct, transparent feedback. She emphasizes treating each person with dignity and respect, offers positive reinforcement, and integrates multiple evidence-based methods to meet individual goals. Her priority is to build a strong therapeutic relationship that supports meaningful progress and resilient coping.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Andrea LeBeau

Andrea LeBeau draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, collaborative environment where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach helps people exploring identity, family relationships, and life transitions feel heard and empowered to set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-focused awareness and grounding techniques that support emotion regulation and reduce rumination.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a shared process. Andrea works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then integrates methods that fit each individual situation rather than relying on a single technique. This flexibility helps tailor care to what will be most useful for the client.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical benefits such as scheduling flexibility and easier access to support. Sessions can be conducted via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it possible to continue work through busy schedules, geographic barriers, or when in-person visits are not feasible. These options allow clients and therapists to focus on progress while accommodating different communication styles and life demands.
