About Andrea
Andrea Schmidt, LCSW, CSW, holds a Colorado license and has 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people on addictions, trauma, relationships, parenting, mood concerns, anxiety, stress, and related issues. She describes her approach as relational and client-centered and uses practical, solution-focused strategies to help people meet their goals.
Schmidt focuses on helping clients understand why they react and behave as they do. She guides people to notice thoughts, perceptions, and projections so they can choose different responses. She uses observation and cognitive work to help clients change patterns that cause pain or interfere with relationships.
Her sessions emphasize clear steps and tools. She draws from attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and modify unhelpful thinking patterns and motivational interviewing to support change, especially around substance use.
Andrea aims to keep sessions practical and grounded. She listens for patterns that maintain problems and offers focused strategies to interrupt them. Problem-solving and short-term goals are common parts of her work when people want concrete change.
She encourages a willingness to look inward and use personal strengths. The role of the therapist, as she describes it, is to listen, guide, and teach skills to reduce isolation, shame, and self-blame. Prospective clients are asked to follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can fit
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps when patterns of closeness or distance keep repeating in relationships and when people want to change how they connect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for mood concerns, anxiety, and changing responses that keep problems going.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a practical conversation that can change as work progresses.
Session format details are not listed here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals often use online appointments to continue steady progress and to apply CBT and attachment-focused work without requiring in-person visits.
