Andrea Hamilton

Andrea Hamilton is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who brings 19 years of clinical experience to her work. She holds a bachelor’s in psychology, a master’s in counselor education, and an MBA from Florida Atlantic University. Andrea presents a calm, direct style and focuses on clear steps people can take when life feels overwhelming.

She has spent much of her career in the child welfare system working with children and their caregivers. Andrea has also supported people impacted by substance use, sexual assault, and incarceration across Dade and Broward Counties. That varied background informs how she approaches complex situations in everyday life.

In practice she helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and problems with anger. She also addresses relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, intimacy issues, grief, eating concerns, and challenges around identity and LGBT matters. Career questions and coping with life changes are included among her focus areas.

Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to create straightforward, practical plans. Sessions typically involve problem-solving, building skills for emotional regulation, and planning next steps that fit into a person’s life. She aims to help people notice small changes that lead to better daily functioning.

Andrea practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. She does not accept international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Andrea draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing alternative, more useful thoughts to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Skills-based strategies teach concrete tools for managing strong emotions, improving mood, and handling anger in the moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, daily routine, and comfort level. Together they review what’s helping and adjust methods as progress is made.

If you plan to pursue online therapy, confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people maintain continuity of care through life transitions while working on career concerns, parenting stress, grief, and other challenges.
