About Andrea
Andrea Bray Ryan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting challenges, addictions, mood concerns and questions about life purpose. Andrea also lists areas such as ADHD, bipolar, gender dysphoria, and LGBT-related concerns among her focus areas.
She draws on several evidence-informed approaches to help people who feel stuck after a change in work, relationships, or health. Sessions include practical skill-building for coping, breathing and relaxation methods, and ways to manage strong emotions. Andrea also uses trauma-focused techniques and mindfulness skills to address painful memories and reduce reactivity.
Andrea has experience working in a behavioral hospital setting with inpatient and outpatient clients as well as in private practice. That background informs how she structures sessions for people who need both short-term stabilization and longer-term support. She emphasizes collaborative work and encourages clients to use their existing strengths while learning new strategies.
Therapy with Andrea typically involves talking through current problems, practicing concrete skills during sessions, and applying those skills between meetings. She may include body-based practices and yoga-informed integration alongside cognitive and emotional work when appropriate. Prospective clients should confirm session formats before booking.
Her practice aims to help people sort priorities after life changes and develop step-by-step ways to manage symptoms and make clearer choices about what matters next.
How Andrea applies approaches online
Andrea commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside mindfulness practices. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with practical behavior changes, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood swings. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic experiences through gentle processing and skill-building to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and increase present-moment noticing.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Andrea works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and what feels manageable. Together they may try brief exercises in session and then adjust what they use based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also let people use practices learned in session within their usual routines, which can help with applying new skills between meetings.
