Andrea Levitan

Andrea Levitan is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem struggles. She often supports people dealing with intimacy concerns, career pressures, and communication or commitment issues. Andrea practices in Kansas and brings 18 years of experience to sessions.

She encourages a committed, steady approach to emotional growth. Andrea describes the early part of change as uncomfortable but doable, and she works with clients to identify buried feelings and begin releasing them. She uses clear, practical steps so progress feels real and manageable.

Andrea blends structured therapy methods with a creative problem-solving style. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and uses Emotionally-Focused and Imago approaches to address patterns in close relationships. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolkit when they fit a client’s goals.

Her background includes a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Avila University and licensure as an LPC in Kansas and Missouri. Andrea also completed a personal trainer certification, reflecting her interest in how exercise, diet, and mental health connect. She aims to be an attentive listener who helps people uncover strengths and build a practical plan for change.

People who choose to work with Andrea can expect a collaborative, motivating clinician who uses individualized strategies. Sessions focus on real-life coping skills and steady steps toward healthier relationships and greater emotional balance.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Andrea commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and change interaction patterns in close relationships by focusing on emotional responses and connection. Imago Relationship Therapy emphasizes how early relationship patterns shape current partnerships and provides exercises to improve communication and empathy.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Andrea will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques as needs evolve during therapy.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Ask about available session types when you schedule. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and provide access to a licensed professional from different locations. These practical benefits can help people maintain consistency and apply new skills between meetings.
