More about Andrea
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) in Arkansas with over 15 years of experience working with individuals, groups and families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, stress related concerns and life transitions. I have also worked with many people who have experienced trauma and/or abuse as well as those who simply need support while navigating life transitions. I have worked with those experiencing the "Quarter Life Crisis" as they emerge into adulthood as well as those who are preparing for retirement and empty-nesting. It's not about a diagnosis it's about good self-care and that's what we focus on during your sessions.
I specialize in issues common to the Black community but am able to transcend both racial and cultural lines to provide help in the time of need. I specialize in "people" so if you fit that category we are certain to learn and grow together.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you by offering professional services that are unbiased and delivered in a no none sense way. If you are looking for real life, every day practical solutions to life's hurdles partner with me to take those leaps.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Overall rating:
Miss Fresh has a way of making me feel less crazy and more understood. I admire the way she leads to a thought without imposing a thought.
Andrea is very responsive and caring. She checks in beyond sessions and is so helpful!
Andrea is thoughtful and gives suggestions that make a difference for me. I am glad to have her as a counselor.
I am pretty new to therapy, and I am really happy with the short amount of time I've been meeting with Andrea. She helps me identify and process emotions I didn't realize I was feeling. With each of our sessions, I've taken something valuable away. I feel that she allows me the time and space I need to feel, but also helps ground me in a way that opens me up to different perspectives on the situation. I was nervous about feeling a bit spoiled by having someone focus so intently on my problems, but it's definitely lowering my anxiety and stress levels, as well as helping my relationships with others around me.
Andrea is very professional, patient, and helps me to see my situation in a different light by focusing on building myself up.
She is outstanding in her work. Her ethics are great and she really gets into your problems so she can address things and come up with solutions to help.
She is amazing. In the short time of us meeting I can already see a difference in the way I hand or myself and others.
