Andrea Coulter, LCPC, LCMHC

Andrea Coulter is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who brings 12 years of experience to her practice. She uses a warm, compassionate style while also offering honest challenges when needed. Andrea focuses on helping people build practical tools and insight so they can move toward the life they want.

Andrea meets people where they are and works together with them to create a plan for change. She emphasizes a strong working relationship and open dialogue to make sure the work stays relevant and useful. Clients can expect a collaborative tone rather than a rigid, one-size-fits-all plan.

Her practice supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse, and grief. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, LGBT concerns, and coping with big life changes. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, codependency, substance concerns, and family of origin difficulties.

Andrea draws on several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior skills, attachment-based ideas, and a client-centered stance. That mix lets her shift between exploring patterns and teaching specific skills.

Her work blends reflective conversation with concrete skill-building. Sessions typically include talking through current problems, noticing patterns that keep things stuck, and practicing new ways of responding. The aim is steady progress people can use in everyday life.

How Andrea’s approaches translate to online work

Andrea uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and dialectical behavior strategies alongside attachment-based ideas to guide her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take action toward those values, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, helpful for mood swings, intense emotions, or patterns that cause repeated conflict. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can support people dealing with abandonment, intimacy challenges, and family of origin issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andrea will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to emphasize. The work is collaborative and may shift over time as needs change.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes working with a licensed professional in Vermont possible for international clients. Discuss session length and format during the initial scheduling to find what fits your routine.
