Andrea LeBeau, LSCSW

Andrea LeBeau is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) based in Kansas. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship problems, and trauma-related concerns. Andrea also supports those coping with eating issues, anger, ADHD, and major life changes.

Andrea earned a social work degree from the University of Kansas in 2017 and has seven years of clinical experience. Much of her work has been in the child welfare field, focusing on keeping families together through family-based and individual therapy. She has also provided crisis counseling with the National Suicide Hotline.

Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She listens first, then offers clear, direct guidance when needed. Andrea mixes practical techniques with supportive conversation to help people make usable changes in daily life.

Andrea commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques. She blends these approaches to match each person's goals and strengths rather than relying on a single method.

In sessions she aims to build a respectful, positive relationship and give honest feedback. Messaging is available between meetings and she makes an effort to reply promptly. Andrea looks to help people find steady ways to cope and move forward.

Approaches That Fit Online Care

Andrea frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also uses client-centered methods that focus on listening, building trust, and following what matters most to the person. Mindfulness therapy is another tool she uses to help people learn grounding and attention skills that reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Andrea works with each person to decide which methods match their goals, strengths, and preferences. She will explain options and adjust methods over time so the work feels practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into work or caregiving days and to maintain steady progress over time.
