Andree McColl-Ravanelli, LCSW

Andree McColl-Ravanelli is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with seven years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, and issues related to LGBT identity, trauma, and self-esteem. Her work centers on supporting people who want clearer direction and more confidence in daily life.

Andree begins by listening to each person's story and identifying strengths they already have. She treats clients as experts on their own lives and builds goals from what matters to them. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation rather than labels.

She has worked with people managing motivation, confidence, and challenges tied to past abuse or post-traumatic stress. Andree also supports those dealing with caregiving strain, communication problems, divorce and separation, and midlife questions about life purpose and meaning. Money and sexuality concerns are also within her areas of focus.

Her style is straightforward and supportive. She helps people break larger problems into small, usable changes. Expect calm feedback, goal-setting, and strategies you can try between sessions.

Andree offers services in English and accepts international clients. To get started, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule appointments according to therapist availability. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based approaches fit into online care

Andree uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions, focusing on what helps people make concrete changes. One common approach she uses involves helping people build on their existing strengths to tackle stress and anxiety, breaking larger worries into manageable steps and daily practices. Another common focus is processing trauma-related reactions by creating a steady, paced plan for addressing painful memories and their impact on current life tasks.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Andree collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts techniques as progress is made so the plan stays useful and relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session formats before booking since the therapist's profile does not list them explicitly. Online options can make it easier to fit care into a busy life, such as shorter check-in sessions during a lunch break or meetings that remove travel time. They can also help when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are needed for a meeting. Talk with the therapist when you schedule to confirm what formats are available and what will work best for your situation.
