About Andrea

LMFT (California) with 15 years of experience. Andrea Ziebell focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. She uses a mix of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods.

Andrea encourages straightforward talk. She listens without judgment and helps people name what’s happening. Sessions often include learning about symptoms, practicing communication, and building concrete coping steps. Homework and journaling may be offered but are optional.

Her practice emphasizes practical skills. That can mean creating a short wellness plan, practicing anger management, or using solution-focused steps to handle specific problems. Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to identify patterns of thinking that affect mood and behavior.

Andrea has worked across mental health and substance use settings. Her background includes experience with people affected by legal problems and with adults who received inpatient or outpatient care. She also has exposure to work with abused or neglected children through earlier roles.

People who come to Andrea may be facing caregiver strain, cancer-related stress, midlife transitions, isolation, or substance use concerns. She also addresses family conflict, divorce and separation, and the aftermath of sexual assault.

Sessions are conducted in English and are provided in California. Costs vary by location and are delivered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Andrea commonly uses client-centered therapy, which centers sessions on the person’s experience and priorities. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people articulate their goals and next steps.

She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that identifies thought and behavior patterns linked to mood. CBT often includes short exercises to test beliefs and small behavioral steps to change daily routines, useful for anxiety and depression.

Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these methods to help people notice and tolerate difficult feelings without acting on them immediately. Techniques can include brief breathing or grounding practices to reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts plans over time based on what proves helpful.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and avoid travel time. These practical benefits can help people maintain regular appointments alongside other responsibilities.
