Andrea Bragdon, LMHC, LCPC

Andrea Bragdon is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with seven years of clinical experience. She works from a warm, supportive stance and uses practical conversation to help people facing relationship and emotional challenges. Andrea aims to make first sessions feel calm and straightforward so concerns can be named and next steps planned.

Andrea uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and act on chosen values. She also uses solution-focused and motivational techniques to set small, manageable goals that build momentum.

Her background includes helping people with trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. She has also supported people dealing with parenting stress, career transitions, chronic health issues, and questions about intimacy and alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink.

Andrea blends talk therapy with coaching-style exercises and visualization when useful. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, coping skills, and practical steps to reduce distress. She aims to tailor each plan to the person in front of her, not to a single method.

Andrea is licensed in multiple states as LMHC and LCPC and practices from Florida. Sessions are conducted in English and she does work with international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online sessions can use ACT exercises and values-focused goals to guide changes in relationships and daily routines.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation. In virtual meetings this looks like reflective listening, gentle questions, and support that follows the client's pace to build trust and clarity.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve presence. These techniques can be practiced during or between sessions to manage anxiety, stress, and mood swings.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying an exercise, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like guided mindfulness, values work, and solution-focused planning to remote sessions to support steady progress.
