About Andrea
Andrea Mckee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oregon with 12 years of experience in mental health. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and family concerns. Her approach is respectful and compassionate, and she adapts care to each person's needs.
Andrea tailors sessions to the individual's situation and goals. She listens for what matters most and helps set clear, achievable steps. Conversations may cover coping skills, managing strong emotions, and ways to improve communication with important people in a client's life.
Her background includes long-term work in clinical settings where she supported people facing trauma, mood disorders, panic, and feelings of isolation. That experience informs a practical style that aims to reduce overwhelming symptoms and increase day-to-day functioning.
Andrea also addresses issues connected to adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric concerns, and related family-of-origin difficulties. She works with people wrestling with self-harm thoughts, panic attacks, social anxiety, and challenges tied to domestic violence or abuse.
Sessions are built around the client's pace and priorities. Andrea encourages realistic goals and uses straightforward tools people can apply outside session. She invites people to take the first step and will support them through the process of change.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and recovery. One common approach is behavioral work that teaches concrete strategies to manage anxiety and panic, such as breathing practice and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. These methods aim to reduce immediate symptoms and build confidence over time.Another approach centers on trauma-informed care, which helps people process difficult experiences at a manageable pace. This work often includes grounding strategies and coping tools to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Both approaches emphasize small, measurable steps and skill practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea collaborates with each person to identify goals, tries methods that fit those goals, and adjusts the plan as needed. This helps ensure techniques match the client's needs and preferences rather than applying a single method to everyone.
