Andrea Hamilton

Andrea Hamilton is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 19 years of experience. She holds a bachelor’s in psychology, a master’s in counselor education, and an MBA from Florida Atlantic University. Andrea practices in Florida and speaks English.

Andrea spent much of her career working in the Child Welfare system, supporting children and the adults in their lives. She has also provided services within substance use settings, supported people who survived sexual assault, and worked in correctional settings across Dade and Broward Counties. Those roles gave her experience with crisis response, behavioral concerns, and complex life transitions.

Her background includes helping establish residential programs, including a female therapeutic group home in Broward County and a co-ed group home shelter in Dade County. This hands-on work involved program coordination, day-to-day client care, and collaborating with community partners to meet practical needs.

Andrea helps people address a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, career questions, ADHD, bipolar conditions, eating concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person.

Andrea frames therapy as a collaborative process. She focuses on clear goals and practical steps so people can manage immediate problems and build skills for the future. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and problem solving. One common approach is skill-based work that teaches coping strategies for anxiety, stress, and mood fluctuations; this involves learning specific tools and practicing them between sessions. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed care, which helps people process past harm at a pace that feels manageable while building safety and daily routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will explore a person’s goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which techniques fit best. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.

If you prefer to meet remotely, confirm the session formats available before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes consistent follow-up and skill practice simpler for people managing work, family, or other responsibilities.
