About Andrea
Andrea Ziebell is a California-licensed LMFT with 15 years of clinical experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and challenges navigating life changes.
Background and approach
She also addresses concerns related to aging and geriatric issues, cancer, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, substance use, feelings of emptiness, family conflict, impulsivity, isolation, midlife transitions, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and sexual assault and abuse.
Andrea draws on a range of therapeutic methods to meet each person where they are and to tailor care to individual needs. Her style emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can speak freely and feel heard.
She offers education about symptoms and practical coping strategies, and works collaboratively to develop wellness plans, communication and anger-management skills, and other concrete tools. Andrea uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused work alongside client-centered and mindfulness-based practices, selecting methods that fit the client’s goals and preferences.
Clients may encounter a mix of skill-building, gentle exploration of past experiences, and actionable homework when appropriate. Andrea’s background includes work with abused and neglected children and both inpatient and outpatient treatment with adults, and she brings that breadth of experience to help clients move toward the changes they want.
Practical therapy approaches for online care
Andrea commonly integrates cognitive behavioral strategies and client-centered principles into online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and build coping skills, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes acceptance, empathic listening, and collaboration, helping clients feel understood while they explore goals and values.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic partnership; Andrea works with clients to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions collaboratively and adjusts plans as progress and priorities evolve, aiming to balance practical skill-building with emotional processing as needed.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to access therapy from home or other convenient settings and to choose the format that supports their communication style and day-to-day life.
