About Andrea
LCSW, CSW in Colorado with 15 years of experience, Andrea Schmidt helps people address addictions, trauma, relationship and parenting concerns, mood disorders, and stress-related problems. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, ADHD, and intimacy or sexual concerns. Sessions are offered in English and she practices in Colorado.
Andrea emphasizes understanding why people react the way they do. She focuses on noticing thoughts, perceptions, and patterns that keep problems going. That makes it easier to try out different responses and change what isn't working in daily life.
Her style is relational and client-centered. She listens, reflects, and guides sessions toward practical steps. Solution-focused tools and motivational interviewing are used to set small, doable goals and build momentum.
Andrea also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current connections and reactions. Cognitive behavioral techniques are brought in to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice new behavior. Together these methods are used to reduce avoidance, manage cravings, and improve communication.
She invites clients to use their strengths and resources and to take responsibility for change at a manageable pace. The therapist helps people move away from patterns of shame, blame, and isolation toward greater self-acceptance and clearer choices. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site process for matching and scheduling a first session.

How her approaches translate to remote care
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional reactions. In remote sessions this can mean talking through family patterns and practicing new ways to connect. Client-centered therapy centers on listening and reflecting so clients feel understood; online meetings allow that same back-and-forth dialogue and space to consider next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it often includes practical exercises and homework that are easy to assign and review during virtual sessions.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. She will collaborate with each person to match methods to goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying tools, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan as work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they reduce travel time, can allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people attend from a location that suits their schedule. The focus remains on practical strategies, problem solving, and building new patterns that carry over into daily routines.
