About Andria
Andria Howard is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She aims to help adults who are dealing with life changes and relational stress, including people in blended households navigating new roles and routines.
Howard centers sessions on the client's experience and uses straightforward conversation to identify what is most pressing. She listens for practical patterns and works with each person to build small, manageable changes. Sessions often include skill practice and check-ins about how new strategies fit into daily life.
Her background includes work in community mental health settings where she supported people coping with trauma, loss, and identity-related concerns. That experience shaped a flexible way of working that balances short-term problem solving with attention to underlying themes that keep problems repeating.
She draws on approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness techniques. These are used as tools to address symptoms like anxiety or depressive moods and to help process difficult memories.
Andria invites clients to set clear goals and to adjust pace as needed. She treats each session as a practical step toward the next change the client wants to make. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. In online sessions this often means starting with what feels most urgent and shaping sessions around practical steps the person can try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions typically include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing alternative behaviors or thought exercises between appointments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to use based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. If a listed technique like EMDR or mindfulness seems useful, it can be introduced and adjusted as needed rather than assumed from the start.
The original profile does not name specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone choose audio-only or video-based meetings depending on bandwidth, camera comfort, and how they prefer to engage.
