Andrea Levitan, LPC

Andrea Levitan helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and stress. She also addresses intimacy concerns, career worries, and issues tied to family of origin and attachment. Andrea is described as motivated to help clients identify buried emotions and move toward greater emotional health.

Andrea takes a practical, straightforward approach in sessions. She listens closely and helps clients name what they are feeling. Then she works with them to try new ways of coping and communicating. She uses tools that fit each person rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Her work combines evidence-based techniques with relational focus. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors, noticing emotional patterns in relationships, and practicing mindful awareness. She also draws on approaches that emphasize connection in couples and families and techniques to increase motivation for change.

Andrea trained in counseling psychology and holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC. She also completed a personal training certification to link movement and mental health. Her background includes 18 years of clinical experience in the Kansas and Missouri region.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that balances direct feedback with encouragement. Sessions often include practical exercises, new communication practices, and concrete strategies to manage mood and stress. Andrea aims to help people make steady progress toward emotional clarity and better relationship functioning.

How Andrea’s approaches translate to online work

Andrea often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name emotions in relationships so they can change reactive patterns and improve closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Andrea will talk with each person or couple about goals and preferences and then recommend techniques that fit. That collaborative process makes it easier to try methods and adjust them if something isn’t working.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice communication or coping skills in the settings where they live and work, then bring observations back to the session for review.
