Andrea Strayer, LCSW

Andrea Strayer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana with eight years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and ADHD. Andrea supports caregivers and those facing family-related strain who want clearer ways to cope. She uses a solution-focused approach that looks at specific challenges and builds a clear plan. Sessions aim to identify practical steps, try them out, and adjust as needed. That means conversations focus on small, achievable changes as well as longer-term goals. Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Bowling Green State University and a Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University. Those degrees inform her understanding of emotional and behavioral patterns and how to make actionable shifts in daily life. Andrea often helps people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, workplace strain, and communication problems. She also addresses issues like panic attacks, mood concerns, guilt, and difficulties with control and impulsivity. In sessions she works collaboratively, moving at a pace that fits each person. The emphasis is on practical strategies that can be used between meetings. Prospective clients in Indiana who speak English can follow the site process to begin working with her.

How solution-focused work translates to online therapy

Andrea practices a solution-focused approach that breaks challenges into concrete goals and action steps. This method centers on identifying small, manageable changes and testing them between sessions, which can fit well with remote sessions that focus on weekly progress and check-ins. She also draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical coping skills and problem solving. These approaches help with stress, panic, mood difficulties, and caregiver strain by teaching concrete tools to use in daily life. Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques to try first based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Adjustments are made along the way so the plan stays useful and realistic. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people maintain continuity of care while juggling caregiving responsibilities or medical appointments. Talk with the therapist about timing and what will work best for your routine.
