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’s background includes work across community settings in Florida, and she brings steady, practical help for stress, anxiety, anger, and life changes.

Andrea spent much of her career in the child welfare system, supporting children and parents through difficult transitions. She has also worked with people in substance abuse services, survivors of sexual assault, and individuals in the prison system across Dade and Broward Counties. That breadth gives her experience with crises and complex situations.

Her work has included program development too. She helped start a female therapeutic group home in Broward County and a co-ed group home shelter in Dade County. Those roles involved organizing services, coordinating care, and meeting day-to-day needs for residents.

In sessions she aims to keep things clear and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now, patterns that get in the way, and small changes that can make a real difference. She addresses concerns such as relationships, grief, parenting stress, and addictions with grounded, straightforward strategies.

Andrea practices in Florida and offers services in English. People who want to begin are asked to use the Start Therapy button, fill out a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on therapist availability.

Practical therapeutic approaches and online care

Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, usable skills. One common approach teaches practical coping tools to manage strong emotions such as anger and intense anxiety; this method breaks problems into steps and gives specific skills people can use day to day. Another approach focuses on changing unhelpful patterns in relationships and behavior by identifying triggers and experimenting with new ways of responding to conflict or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. This means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since current session types are not specified in this biography. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also help when someone prefers not to use video or needs a session that requires less bandwidth. Licensed professionals guide decisions about how to use online options so therapy fits practical everyday routines.
