About Andrea

Andrea Paige is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, or past trauma.

Background and approach

Andrea aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable and clear. Her work centers on listening closely to each person's story and identifying what gets in the way of feeling steady.

She uses practical tools to reduce stress, manage strong emotions, and improve communication. Sessions move at a pace that feels right for each client.

Andrea often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach skills for changing unhelpful patterns.

The Gottman Method informs how she supports people around relationship issues and intimacy challenges. She offers a calm, affirming space and pays attention to cultural differences and identity.

Andrea helps with addiction-related concerns, work and caregiver stress, body image, codependency, and the emotional effects of separation or loss. Her focus includes attachment and abandonment issues and difficulties tied to blended family dynamics.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation, skill-building between sessions, and practical steps for coping with life changes. Andrea works with each person to set clear goals and track progress over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Andrea often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions by teaching practical exercises for present-moment awareness and committed choices.

She also integrates the Gottman Method ideas when addressing relationship and intimacy concerns, focusing on communication habits, emotional connection, and ways to reduce conflict. In addition, Attachment-Based Therapy helps when the issue involves long-standing patterns from early relationships, offering ways to understand and shift attachment dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea treats approach selection as a collaborative process and will discuss options based on a person’s goals, preferences, and daily life demands. Together they try methods and adjust as needed to find what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and interactive exercises. Phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or during a short break. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, follow-up, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones while working directly with a licensed professional.
