About Andrea
Andrea Bray Ryan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and life changes. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through what's happening and learn practical ways to cope.
Andrea brings six years of counseling experience that includes work in a behavioral hospital as well as independent practice. She uses straightforward tools to help with panic, mood swings, relationship struggles, grief, addiction, and challenges related to gender and identity. Sessions emphasize real skills clients can use between appointments, such as relaxation and self-regulation techniques.
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness and trauma-focused methods to address symptoms and daily functioning. Andrea often includes emotion-focused elements to help people notice and make sense of hard feelings. She aims to help clients identify strengths, build new habits, and reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life.
In sessions she teaches coping skills, breathing and relaxation practices, and body-awareness tools like yoga-informed strategies. Treatment plans are practical and tailored to individual goals. Andrea prefers a collaborative style where the client and therapist decide what to try next.
People who choose Andrea typically want concrete skills, calm conversations, and steady support while they make changes. She welcomes questions about how therapy could address panic, trauma, or anxiety before scheduling a first visit.
How Andrea’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Andrea commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to address anxiety, panic, and everyday stress. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on noticing thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention skills and simple breathing or body-awareness exercises to lower reactivity and increase present-moment calm.She also draws on trauma-focused ideas to help people process difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable, using grounding and emotion-regulation techniques alongside talk work. Together these approaches aim to reduce distress and boost day-to-day functioning in concrete ways.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then try strategies that fit those needs. Adjustments are made along the way so the therapy stays practical and relevant.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can slot into a lunch break, and audio-only options reduce bandwidth needs. Many people find online sessions help keep continuity of care when travel or schedule changes occur.
