Andra Blackheart, LCSW

Andra Blackheart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She brings five years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people reconnect with themselves after major life changes or traumatic experiences. Andra aims to help clients get clearer about what they want and how to move toward it.

Andra works with people who struggle with relationships, intimacy, and feeling understood. She supports those facing anxiety, depression, stress, and mood shifts. She also helps people dealing with issues around identity, sexual expression, and LGBT concerns.

Her approach draws on practical, evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered techniques. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and use their existing strengths to make small changes that add up.

Andra also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools to help people manage distress and clarify goals. Sessions typically combine short-term problem-solving and ongoing work on deeper patterns like attachment or abandonment wounds.

She offers several online session formats - video, phone, chat, and messaging - so people can fit therapy into a busy life. Getting started involves a brief intake and scheduling that fits the client's timetable.

How Andra’s Approaches Work Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and shifting unhelpful thoughts and then testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day problems where thinking patterns get in the way.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and supports the client in making choices that fit their values and needs.

Existential Therapy looks at life questions like meaning, commitment, and freedom. It can help when people feel lost, empty, or unsure about what matters next.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andra will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on practical CBT skills, deeper meaning-oriented work, or a combination.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different rhythms of life. Video calls let people work face-to-face across distances. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when camera time is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins, coaching-style conversations, or ongoing support between sessions.
