Andrea Bragdon, LMHC, LCPC

Andrea Bragdon is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who brings seven years of clinical experience to her work. She aims to create a warm, respectful space where people can talk about hard things and take practical steps forward. Andrea uses a conversational style with a touch of humor to help people feel understood and seen.

She focuses on relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Midlife crisis and career concerns are also part of her practice, as are intimacy-related issues and work around sexual identity and non-traditional relationships. Andrea also supports people addressing chronic pain, body image, codependency, and family-of-origin patterns.

Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, motivational interviewing, and client-centered care. Sessions include practical exercises, guided reflection, and goal-oriented conversation rather than abstract theory. She adapts methods to each person’s needs and pace.

Andrea’s background includes counseling, life coaching, and energy work, which informs a holistic view of change. She often uses visualization and inner-child work alongside problem-solving tools. That lets people address emotional wounds while also building everyday habits that help.

People who choose Andrea often want both emotional processing and clear next steps. She guides clients through challenges like trauma recovery, relationship shifts, career pivots, and the uncertainty of midlife. To begin, she asks about goals and tailors a plan that fits each person’s situation.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Andrea often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their values and take small, committed steps toward them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions because it focuses on what matters and on workable actions.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions are guided by each person’s experience and pace. That approach helps people feel heard and leads to clearer personal insights over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She tailors exercises, mindfulness practices, and short-term goals based on what the person wants to change and how they prefer to work.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, and travel. It also lets people use video or audio options that match their comfort level, helps reduce commute time, and makes regular check-ins simpler when life feels busy.
