Andrea Mckee

Andrea Mckee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon with more than 12 years in mental health care. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and issues many women face. Her approach is practical and respectful, aimed at helping people take small, workable steps toward feeling better.

Andrea adapts sessions to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. She listens for what matters most and helps set clear, realistic goals. Conversations aim to identify patterns that cause distress and develop skills to manage day-to-day challenges.

Her background includes work with adults across a range of life transitions and concerns related to family and adoption or foster care. She also has experience addressing isolation, mood and panic symptoms, and the effects of past trauma. That experience shapes how she supports people through change.

Sessions focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and restoring a sense of agency. Andrea emphasizes respect and compassion while helping clients practice new ways of responding to stress. She encourages steady progress and honors the courage it takes to start therapy.

To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability. Andrea works in English and does not work with international clients. Costs vary by location and availability and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Andrea describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and recovery. Cognitive approaches look at patterns of thought and behavior, helping people identify unhelpful thinking and practice alternative responses to reduce anxiety and low mood. Trauma-informed practices focus on pacing, safety, and building coping skills to manage symptoms related to past abuse and post-traumatic stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person's goals, try different methods when needed, and adjust the plan over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques fit best for symptoms, life circumstances, and personal preferences.

Confirm session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a shorter conversation helps. It can also make it simpler to meet after a workday or during a break, and some formats require less bandwidth or no video when that helps someone engage. Ask about current session arrangements when you schedule to find the best fit for daily life.
