Getting to know Andrea Carlson

Hi there, I'm Andrea! I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over 25 years of professional experience supporting high-functioning adolescents and adults with a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship issues, and family pressures. I bring a deep sense of empathy and a nonjudgmental presence to the work I do, and my goal is to offer a welcoming, inclusive environment where you feel safe and heard.

Recognizing that each person is unique, I take a flexible and adaptive approach to therapy that evolves with my clients' needs. I draw from a variety of therapeutic methods—whether it’s using cognitive behavioral techniques, incorporating mindfulness to ease anxiety, or exploring relational patterns through a systemic lens—always choosing what best supports each individual. Central to my work is the belief in client empowerment. Rather than focusing solely on problems,
