About Andrea
Andrea Throndson is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, grief, and depression. Andrea frames clients as experts in their own stories and works alongside them to address the things that feel overwhelming.
Her approach is practical and focused on what people can do next. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and experience with grief and addiction to offer targeted support. Sessions emphasize clear goals, coping skills, and realistic steps rather than abstract theory.
Andrea pays attention to how attachment, abandonment, and communication patterns show up in everyday life. She also addresses issues such as body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, control or impulsivity problems, and financial or midlife concerns. She works with people dealing with isolation, guilt, shame, and the fallout of separation and divorce.
Conversations in sessions typically include skill building, processing losses, and restructuring unhelpful patterns that keep someone stuck. Andrea uses methods that help regulate strong emotions and improve relationships, and she adapts tools to each person’s situation. Her goal is to support clearer thinking and steadier behavior so people can make practical choices.
To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location. Sessions are offered in English and Andrea accepts international clients.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and emotional regulation. One common approach is dialectical behavior therapy skills, which teach practical tools for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive behaviors, and improving communication. These skills often help people coping with addiction, overwhelming anxiety, or strong mood swings.She also draws on grief-focused strategies that help people process loss in manageable steps. That work combines gentle processing of painful memories with concrete coping methods to support daily functioning and decision-making. These approaches aim to reduce the impact of past events on current choices and relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and will collaborate to pick techniques that feel most useful. People can expect a practical conversation about what to try first and how to measure progress.
