About Andrea
Andrea Strayer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and family conflict. She also addresses ADHD-related concerns and related life strain.
Andrea trained with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Bowling Green State University and a Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University. She uses a solution-focused approach that identifies a clear problem, builds a practical plan, and tests steps that move things forward. Sessions are grounded in concrete goals rather than long, open-ended discussion.
In practice Andrea helps people break down overwhelming problems into small, doable steps. She guides clients through techniques they can use in daily life to reduce reactive anger, manage panic or anxiety, and navigate communication breakdowns at home or work. She also supports those dealing with chronic pain, caregiver stress, or the fallout of separation.
Her work is direct and goal-oriented. Conversations often focus on what is getting in the way now and what can be tried next. Progress is tracked by practical markers like reduced conflict, clearer boundaries, or calmer responses in stressful moments.
Andrea offers sessions in English from her Indiana practice. People are encouraged to complete the provider’s short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to discuss current concerns and practical steps forward.
How sessions work
Practical approaches and online sessions
Andrea uses evidence-based techniques that keep conversations focused and action-oriented. A solution-focused method is central - identifying a specific problem, agreeing on a small testable change, and checking results in the next session. This helps with reactive anger, workplace frustration, and relationship tension by emphasizing immediate, usable steps.She also draws on approaches that address mood and anxiety symptoms through brief behavioral changes and skill practice. These methods teach breathing and grounding, clearer communication strategies, and ways to interrupt impulsive reactions over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea collaborates with each person to pick and adapt techniques to their needs, goals, and daily routines. Together they review what is working and adjust the plan when needed.
