Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Andrea Levitan integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy into her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotional bonds and patterns in relationships, helping couples and family members improve connection and communication. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, which can reduce reactivity and support coping with grief, body image concerns, and ongoing stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea works with each person or couple to explore goals, preferences, and the issues they want to address, then recommends and adapts techniques that fit the client’s needs. This team-based approach ensures the plan evolves as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. These options help maintain continuity of care, allow for varied communication styles, and expand access for those balancing work, family, and other commitments.
