About Andrea

Andrea Stocker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 10 years of experience in social services. Her background spans work in a group home, homeless services, housing programs, a prison setting, and community health environments, which together provide a broad perspective on complex life challenges and varied care settings.

She has also worked with older adults and brings that experience to conversations about aging, caregiving, and life-stage transitions. Andrea is sex positive and affirms clients from the LGBTQ+ community, people in alternative relationship structures, and members of the BDSM community.

Andrea has extensive experience addressing depression, anger management, and anxiety, and she supports people coping with eating disorders using the Health at Every Size model. Her approach centers on treating the whole person through a client-centered philosophy that prioritizes each individual's goals, values, and lived experience while integrating practical strategies when helpful.

Approaches and online care with Andrea Stocker

Andrea uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person's values and goals, creating a respectful space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports growth at the client's pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily challenges. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and awareness practices that help reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation across a variety of concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrea works collaboratively with each person to determine which strategies and modalities fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility for people managing busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, mobility limits, or geographic distance. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to integrate therapeutic work into everyday life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor treatment to individual circumstances.
