About Andrea
Andrea Joyce is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Kansas and a Licensed Mental Health Clinician (LMHC) in Iowa with 23 years of clinical experience. She practices in Nebraska and works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship struggles, anger, ADHD, and mood disorders. Andrea uses practical therapy approaches to help people manage overwhelming feelings and day-to-day challenges.
Her style is direct and person-focused. She centers sessions on what is happening now and on building skills that reduce symptoms and improve functioning. Sessions aim to identify patterns that lead to snapping, resentment, or repeated conflict, and to test small changes that reduce those patterns.
Andrea blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness strategies. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals, and on trauma-focused methods when past events shape current reactions. These approaches are used to address issues like post-traumatic stress, abandonment, and family-of-origin problems.
Her background includes agency, university, and law enforcement settings, and collaborative work with foster care and juvenile court in face-to-face practice. That variety informs a practical approach to coping skills, emotional regulation, and problem solving.
People come to her for help sorting anger, repairing strained relationships, managing mood swings, and moving through loss. The work moves at a steady, pragmatic pace aimed at usable changes for everyday life.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Andrea commonly uses client-centered work that focuses on the person's immediate concerns and strengths. This approach prioritizes listening, reflecting, and helping people name what matters so they can decide practical next steps.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT offers concrete exercises for managing anger, reducing worry, and changing patterns that cause repeated conflict. Mindfulness techniques are used alongside CBT to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce automatic reactivity.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss what has worked in the past, what goals matter now, and which methods feel doable. Together they pick techniques and a pace that match the client's needs and preferences.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time so therapy can fit around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals adapt techniques like CBT and mindfulness to work across distance, focusing on practical tools that transfer into everyday life.
