Andrea Levitan, LPC

Andrea Levitan, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), holds licenses in Missouri and Kansas and has 18 years of clinical experience. She works with relationship and parenting concerns, depression, anxiety, stress, grief, intimacy issues, and self-esteem. She describes her style as motivational and focused on helping people identify emotions and develop coping skills. Andrea emphasizes practical work in sessions and encourages commitment to emotional change.

Andrea uses varied perspectives to approach problems rather than relying on the obvious solutions. She says she listens closely and helps clients uncover strengths. Sessions include developing creative coping strategies and skills for clearer communication and improved relationship patterns. She also integrates attention to exercise and lifestyle as part of mental health work.

Her methods draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Andrea frames these tools as ways to release buried emotions, shift unhelpful thinking, and reduce reactivity in relationships. She works to help people recognize patterns tied to family of origin, attachment, and commitment issues.

Andrea notes experience addressing issues such as body image, eating-related concerns, codependency, domestic violence, divorce and separation, fatherhood issues, cancer-related stress, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. She aims to help clients manage career stress and rebuild intimacy after loss or separation.

She earned a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Avila University in Kansas City, Missouri. Andrea also holds a personal trainer certification through Smart Fitness and brings that background into conversations about exercise and well-being.
