Andrea Hare

Andrea Hare is a Kansas-based licensed social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She offers calm, practical support for relationship strain, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Andrea uses straightforward conversation to help clients take the next steps they need.

She draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past harm and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small, meaningful actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used when clients need concrete skills for managing mood, thoughts, and difficult moments.

Sessions center on clear goals and real-world strategies. Andrea listens closely, helps name patterns that get in the way, and practices skills with clients so they feel useful outside of sessions. She also supports people dealing with caregiving stress, chronic illness, fertility questions, adoption and foster care concerns, and end-of-life issues.

Andrea has four years of clinical experience as an LSCSW - Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker. She works with adults who are navigating life transitions, workplace strain, parenting stress, and the ongoing effects of trauma. Her style is steady, practical, and collaborative.

To start, she helps people identify what matters most and builds step-by-step plans to move forward. The focus is on usable tools, not endless talk, so clients can see changes in daily life over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on reducing the hold that past harms have on daily life. In practice this means identifying trauma responses, pacing work around difficult memories, and developing skills to manage strong emotions as they arise.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It uses mindfulness and plain behavioral experiments to break cycles of avoidance and build a life that feels meaningful.

Finding the right approach is a team process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how symptoms appear in everyday life. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Confirm the available online session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people practice skills between sessions in their normal routines. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework so clients can use them safely and effectively in everyday settings.
