About Andrea

Andrea Stocker is an LCSW practicing in California with almost 10 years of experience in social services. She takes a client-centered approach and focuses on seeing each person as a whole. Andrea is comfortable speaking openly about sexuality and relationship diversity, including work with LGBTQ+ and BDSM communities.

She has worked in group homes, homeless services, housing programs, a prison, and community health settings. That range of experience informs a down-to-earth style and practical problem solving. She has also worked with older adults in clinical roles.

Andrea helps people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, anger, and grief. She also supports those facing eating concerns, sleep problems, addiction, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. Relationship issues, intimacy questions, and communication difficulties are part of her regular work.

Her therapy draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative methods. In sessions she listens first, then collaborates on goals and small steps people can try between meetings.

Andrea follows the Health at Every Size model when addressing eating and body image concerns. She aims to reduce shame and increase self-compassion while helping people build routines that fit their lives.

How Andrea’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building shared goals. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns back, and helps shape achievable steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will review needs, goals, and preferences with each person and suggest which methods to try first. Adjustments are normal; she works with clients to track what helps and changes course when needed.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make meetings easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers less time on camera. Talk with the therapist about practical needs and scheduling so sessions match everyday life.
