01About Andrea
Dr. Andrea Hayes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in North Carolina. She has nine years of counseling experience and holds graduate degrees in counseling, including a doctorate in human behavior.
Andrea previously worked in schools, correctional and juvenile settings, military facilities, and community agencies before focusing on independent practice and online care. She keeps sessions warm and respectful. Andrea aims to build trust first, so people feel comfortable talking about hard things.
Background and approach
She listens closely, then uses clear, practical steps to address immediate concerns. Andrea commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, along with person-centered and solution-focused techniques. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and set realistic goals.
Plans are adjusted to fit each person’s needs and life circumstances. She has experience helping with depression, anxiety, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar symptoms, anger, stress, self-esteem, parenting strain, and relationship issues. Additional focuses include forgiveness, self-love, and veteran and armed forces issues.
Sessions are offered in English and Andrea works with both U.S. and international clients. Therapy is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on the therapist’s availability.

04Online support
How CBT and goal-focused work translate to online therapy
CBT - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and trying concrete alternatives. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns like unhelpful worry or self-criticism.Person-centered techniques emphasize listening and building a trusting relationship so people can talk openly. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort their feelings and decide what matters most.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what’s been tried before, then suggest a mix of techniques. Plans are adjusted over time based on what works and what does not.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and keep a session that feels conversational. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is not ideal. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day or to write through thoughts between sessions. These options make it simpler to maintain consistency and try techniques in real life between meetings.
