About Andrea
Andrea Bragdon is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with seven years of clinical experience. She practices in Florida and works with people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and stress. Andrea also addresses intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, career questions, and mood differences including bipolar experiences.
She has worked with many people who experienced emotional, sexual, or physical trauma and with those carrying family-of-origin wounds. Her background includes work as a counselor, life coach, and energy healer. That mix informs how she talks with clients about feelings and patterns that keep repeating.
Andrea uses a blend of practical methods rather than a single protocol. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, solution-focused techniques, client-centered listening, and motivational interviewing to help people clarify values and make small changes. Sessions often focus on noticing what matters, trying different behaviors, and reflecting on what helps.
In sessions she pays attention to body-mind connections and to how beliefs about self or worth can fuel guilt and shame. Conversations can include guided mindfulness, short experiments, and coaching-style goal work. She adapts language and pacing to each person’s needs.
Andrea works in English and accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Before booking, confirm current session formats and logistics.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. In practice this can mean noticing painful thoughts or guilt, then choosing one manageable step toward a valued life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on attentive listening and reflecting what a person is feeling so they can find their own direction. This is useful for people who need a steady, nonjudgmental presence while they sort through shame or hard decisions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with each person to decide whether ACT, client-centered listening, mindfulness, or a mix fits best. That decision is based on the person’s goals, preferences, and what they want to try first, and can be revisited as things change.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten a check-in when needed, or avoid travel. It also allows continuity when schedules or location change. Discuss scheduling and practical needs up front so sessions can fit into everyday life.
