About Andria
Andria Howard, LPC-MHSP, is licensed in Tennessee and has five years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Her approach centers on client-centered methods and evidence-based tools, and she uses those to help people manage symptoms and respond to life changes.
Howard frames clients as the experts on their own stories. She listens for strengths and practical steps people can use between sessions. Sessions focus on building skills, improving coping, and addressing patterns that keep problems in place.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behavioral experiments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is available for processing traumatic memories alongside grounding and stabilization work.
Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Client-Centered Therapy guides the way conversations are paced and how goals are set. The mix of approaches depends on what a person needs and what feels manageable.
Howard has experience from community mental health settings. That background informs practical plans that fit daily life. Language of sessions is English, and she does not accept international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions operate on a cancelable subscription model. To begin, a reader completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's pace. In online sessions this means the therapist prioritizes what matters most to the person and helps set concrete, short-term goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests small behavior changes. Online meetings can be used to practice those experiments and review results together.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps and what feels doable.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets therapists use worksheets, guided exercises, and mindfulness practices during sessions to support skill building and symptom management.
