Andrea Hamilton, LPC, LMHC

Andrea Hamilton is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 19 years of experience. She holds a bachelor’s in psychology, a master’s in counselor education, and an MBA from Florida Atlantic University. Andrea draws on long-term clinical work to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns. Andrea spent much of her career working in the child welfare system. She has also supported people affected by substance use, sexual assault, and the justice system across Dade and Broward Counties. That work included helping start a female therapeutic group home and a co-ed shelter, so she understands how systems and community services affect recovery. In sessions she focuses on practical strategies and steady progress. She helps people talk through relationship and family tensions, parenting strain, and intimacy-related issues. Andrea also works with concerns such as grief, self-esteem, eating issues, addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and career transitions. Her approach aims to make therapy useful in everyday life. She breaks large problems into manageable steps and uses tools clients can practice between sessions. Andrea explains options in straightforward terms and partners with each person to set realistic goals. Andrea practices in Florida and offers services in English. People interested in working together are asked to use the directory’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life changes. One common approach is skill-building work that teaches practical coping strategies for anxiety, stress, and mood swings; these are short, teachable tools clients can practice between sessions. Another is trauma-informed care that helps people process difficult events at a pace they choose while strengthening day-to-day coping and safety. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, history, and preferences and then try methods that match those needs. Adjustments are made over time so the plan fits what is actually helping. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or from different locations. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available formats before booking so you know whether video or phone sessions are offered. Many people find therapy online helpful for keeping momentum between appointments and for accessing consistent support without changing daily routines.
