About Andrea
Andrea Hamilton is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 19 years in practice, licensed in Florida. She works on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, mood issues, addictions, trauma and related areas using evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Andrea describes her work as practical counseling informed by years in child welfare and community settings.
Andrea trained in psychology, counselor education, and business administration. She holds a bachelor’s in Psychology, a master’s in Counselor Education, and an MBA from Florida Atlantic University. Her professional path includes extensive work in child welfare where she supported children and individual caregivers through difficult circumstances.
Her background also includes experience with people affected by substance abuse and survivors of sexual assault. She has provided services in the prison system across Dade and Broward Counties. Those roles involved direct counseling, crisis response, and program development.

In sessions she focuses on practical skills and coping strategies. She talks through immediate concerns and helps people build routines that reduce stress. Sessions mix short-term problem solving with attention to longer-term issues like relationships and parenting.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical tools and skills. One common approach focuses on teaching coping strategies for stress and anxiety, such as breathing exercises, activity scheduling, and step-by-step problem solving to reduce day-to-day distress. Another approach centers on trauma-informed interventions that help people process difficult experiences and build safety strategies for managing triggers and strong emotions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts methods based on how someone responds and what feels most useful in regular sessions. Confirm current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific online formats. Online counseling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to continue work on skills between sessions and bring real-life situations into conversation during appointments.03
