About D'andrea
D'andrea Washburn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 26 years of clinical experience.

Her style is calm and attentive, with a focus on safety, empowerment, and working together toward goals.
Her work is skills-based and uses evidence-based behavioral tools and psycho-education. Sessions include practical strategies tailored to each person's situation. She also offers a faith-sensitive perspective when a client wants that included.

These techniques focus on teaching concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, manage mood, and reduce symptoms like panic or compulsive behaviors. Exercises and step-by-step practices are common and aimed at everyday situations.A trauma-informed approach guides how she works with people who have experienced abuse or other traumatic events. That means paying attention to safety and empowerment, pacing work so clients feel ready, and collaborating on what feels most useful in each session.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is a shared task. D'andrea will discuss different options, try practical tools, and adjust based on the client's goals and preferences. She aims to match techniques to what feels effective and doable for each person.
