Andrea Hare

Andrea Hare is a Kansas-based licensed social worker who helps people facing grief, stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She brings a practical, steady approach to conversations about relationships, compassion fatigue, addictions, and intimacy concerns. Andrea is an LSCSW and has four years of clinical experience working with people in transition.

Her style is straightforward and supportive. She listens first, then helps clients name what feels most urgent. Sessions often focus on small, doable steps that fit into daily life rather than distant goals. Andrea emphasizes clarity, coping skills, and building routines that reduce overwhelm.

Andrea uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used to steady emotions and improve moment-to-moment focus.

She also attends to role-specific strains like caregiving stress, aging and geriatric concerns, and issues connected to adoption or foster care. Andrea works with people dealing with chronic pain, illness, or co-occurring challenges and supports those processing guilt, shame, or past trauma.

Her aim is to make therapy a practical part of life. People are invited to explore coping strategies, adapt goals as life shifts, and practice skills between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Andrea uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people get clear on what matters to them and take small actions that reflect those values. ACT can be useful for grief, life transitions, and when someone wants help choosing what to prioritize.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot thinking patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood and to practice different ways of responding. CBT is practical work aimed at changing behaviors and thoughts that get in the way of daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will talk with each person about their goals, try strategies that match those goals, and adjust methods as needed. That way the plan reflects the client's needs, preferences, and what actually helps in day-to-day life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and offer shorter check-ins when a full visit feels like too much. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions so they work with your routine and goals.
