Andria Kadell

Andria Kadell is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults and teens on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Her profile also notes work on attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, social anxiety and phobia, and life purpose.

She aims to help people better understand what they are feeling and why those patterns repeat. Sessions focus on setting clear, client-stated goals and building practical plans to reach them. Conversations are direct and down-to-earth, often using exercises between sessions to practice new skills.

Kadell primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced thinking. She also draws on mindfulness practices to calm stress and increase present-moment awareness. Strengths-based ideas help clients notice what already works for them and expand those skills.

She incorporates tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Narrative Therapy techniques are used to look at personal stories and how those stories shape choices. Adventure Therapy skills are mentioned as a way to explore strengths and preferences through experiential activities.

Sessions are aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes. People who are unsure about the next steps in work or life may find practical strategies and clearer thinking by working together with her.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Andria uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and redesign the actions that follow. This approach is practical for anxiety, low mood, and worry about choices. She also integrates mindfulness techniques to improve focus and reduce stress by teaching simple attention and breathing practices that can be used between sessions.

When emotion regulation is a challenge, she brings in tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach distress tolerance and clearer emotion naming. Narrative techniques are used to examine personal stories and consider different ways of understanding past events and current goals. These approaches aim to give concrete skills rather than abstract explanations.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review what is most relevant to a person's goals and adjust methods as needed. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to use and how progress will be measured.

Session format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support consistent weekly work from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit each person's circumstances so therapy fits into everyday life rather than adding another burden.
