Andrea Bragdon

Andrea Bragdon is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, relationship issues, and questions about life purpose.

Her work often includes people coping with major life changes, career uncertainty, and midlife questions. She also supports exploration of intimacy-related concerns, non-monogamous arrangements, and sexuality topics including BDSM and kink. Chronic pain, body image, and family of origin issues are other areas she sees regularly.

Andrea draws on several well-known therapeutic approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness to help people notice what matters and take small meaningful steps. She also uses solution-focused and motivational interviewing ideas to set practical goals and track progress.

Sessions are conversational and direct. Andrea uses coaching tools alongside counseling techniques to help people clarify values and try new behaviors. She may use visualization and guided reflection to help clients notice patterns that keep them stuck.

She practises in Florida and offers sessions in English. Andrea works with people who want to make changes in work, relationships, or everyday life and who are looking for a counselor who mixes practical exercises with reflective work.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters and take small committed steps toward those values. In practice this can look like clarifying priorities, noticing unhelpful thoughts, and choosing one concrete action to try. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on building present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase clarity about choices. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on short-term goals and practical changes, using measurable steps to track progress and build momentum.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Andrea will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to use, adjusting techniques based on goals and what feels useful. Clients and the therapist work together to set goals, try interventions, and review what helps.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekly routine, provide shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or allow sessions without needing travel time. These practical benefits can help people maintain consistency while they test new ways of thinking and acting.
