About Andrea
Andrea Throndson is a California-based licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, grief, and depression. She acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy and invites clients to bring their real stories and strengths into each session. Andrea speaks English and is available to work with clients internationally.
In sessions she treats grief, addiction concerns, and trauma with focused care. She emphasizes that clients are the experts on their own lives and builds on what is already working. Her approach includes practical tools to manage anxiety, handle relationship challenges, and cope with loss.
Andrea has 14 years of experience in the field and holds a California LMFT credential. That background shapes a calm, direct style where clear steps and listening go together. She aims to make progress feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
She pays attention to patterns that show up repeatedly, such as attachment wounds, abandonment fears, and communication problems. Sessions also address issues like body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, control struggles, and financial or life-purpose worries.
Andrea supports people working through separation, forgiveness, guilt, shame, impulsivity, isolation, and midlife transitions. Her goal is to help clients build tools they can use between sessions and to reduce the daily burden of these concerns.
To get started she asks people to complete a brief questionnaire so she can match goals and schedule sessions that fit the client’s life.
How evidence-based methods translate to online work
Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common concerns like anxiety, addiction, and grief. One approach focuses on skills training and emotional regulation to help reduce intense reactions and manage urges; it teaches practical habits to use during stressful moments. Another approach concentrates on processing grief and trauma by helping people make sense of painful experiences and develop ways to carry on with meaning and routine.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Andrea collaborates with clients to identify priorities, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what is helping. This collaborative stance lets the therapist and client test tools together and build a plan that fits daily life.
