About LeeAndrea
LeeAndrea Sturtz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes. LeeAndrea also works on concerns like abandonment, communication problems, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.
Her background emphasizes trauma-informed care and integrative methods. She draws on approaches such as CPT, DBT, ACT, and somatic-informed practices to support people managing mood disorders and social anxiety. In sessions she listens for patterns that keep a person stuck, then offers concrete strategies to interrupt those patterns.
LeeAndrea describes her work as encouraging radical self-compassion and noticing small moments that expand resilience. She uses exercises that help people notice their body responses, reframe self-critical thoughts, and practice clearer communication. Sessions include skill practice and reflection to build stronger emotional regulation over time.
People who come to her often seek help after a major life change, a difficult relationship shift, or when longstanding anxiety or low mood makes daily life harder. She helps people identify next steps, manage overwhelming feelings, and make choices that align with what matters to them.
Her approach blends practical skill-building with attention to how trauma shows up in the body and relationships. That mix is aimed at stabilizing mood, reducing anxiety, and creating more reliable ways to cope while exploring life purpose and personal values.
How her approaches translate to online work
LeeAndrea commonly uses cognitive processing elements, dialectical behavioral techniques, and somatic-informed practices. Cognitive processing style work helps people name and reframe thoughts that worsen mood and anxiety. Dialectical behavioral techniques focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication skills. Somatic-informed practices attend to body sensations and breathing patterns to reduce physiological arousal and help people feel steadier.Deciding which approach fits best is collaborative. She will listen to current concerns, goals, and how symptoms show up day to day. Together they try methods, reflect on what helps, and adjust the plan so it matches the person's needs and preferences.
The therapist's biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the exact online options before booking. In general, working with therapists online can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Phone sessions may be useful when bandwidth or camera use is a problem, while video sessions let the therapist observe nonverbal cues. Confirm formats and scheduling details directly to find the best practical fit.
