About Andrea
Andrea Villescas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and anger. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, sleep problems, ADHD, and life transitions.
Andrea uses practical conversation and evidence-based tools in sessions. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness. Sessions focus on clear skills people can use between meetings, such as noticing triggers, changing unhelpful thinking, and practicing grounding techniques.
Her approach is straightforward and skill-oriented. Clients learn ways to manage strong emotions, reduce reactivity, and rebuild daily routines. Andrea also addresses work-related strain, compassion fatigue, and career concerns for professionals under pressure.
She pays attention to cultural context and to issues that affect first responders and veterans. She also works with people who face prejudice or discrimination and those navigating LGBT concerns. Seasonal Affective Disorder and parenting stress are listed focus areas as well.
Sessions are offered in English from Texas, and Andrea does not work with international clients. She asks new people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to begin. The emphasis is on practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How sessions work
How Andrea applies therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practice actions that align with those values. It focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to manageable behavior changes, which can help when anger conflicts with your goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches skills to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to replace them with more helpful thinking, useful for workplace frustration or recurring resentment.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to a single method from the start.
Session format options are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current session formats before booking. Online care can make sessions easier to fit into a busy day by avoiding travel and offering shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue work when life gets in the way, and it supports using real-world situations discussed in sessions as practice between meetings.
