Andrea Coulter, LCPC, LCMHC

Andrea Coulter is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She practices from Vermont and offers help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood shifts, grief, and trauma. Andrea brings a warm, straightforward style and aims to build a working relationship that feels trustworthy and useful.

She meets people where they are and works collaboratively to set practical goals. Sessions focus on building skills and insight so people can handle daily challenges more easily. Andrea balances empathy with gentle challenge when that helps progress.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered techniques. She uses these approaches to teach coping strategies, manage strong emotions, and address patterns that keep problems returning.

Andrea also helps with relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, LGBT matters, and family-of-origin difficulties. She supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment questions, caregiver stress, codependency, and the fallout from separation or divorce.

Her practice includes attention to substance use, domestic violence, dissociation, and first responder stress. Andrea aims to help people find clearer thinking and steadier behavior, not quick fixes but practical steps they can use between sessions.

How Andrea’s approaches translate to online care

Andrea commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and skills that can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and take committed action even when uncomfortable emotions are present. That approach is useful for coping with ongoing stress, grief, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques based on what the person needs and checks in often to make sure the plan is working.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for full-session conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when video is not possible. Live chat and messaging can support steady progress with brief exchanges, homework, or quick coping tools between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
