Andrea Ziebell

Andrea Ziebell is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and major life changes. She aims to make sessions feel like a calm place to talk, be heard, and begin practical steps toward feeling better.

Her approach is straightforward and adaptable. She listens first, then helps build a plan based on what a person needs and wants. That might include learning coping skills, tracking symptoms, or practicing clearer communication. Homework is optional and is used only when it fits a person's goals.

Andrea often uses techniques from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and try new habits. She also draws on mindfulness practices and solution-focused strategies to set small, achievable goals. Motivational interviewing is used when clients want support with behavior change or recovery work.

She has worked in a range of settings, including inpatient and outpatient treatment, and has experience with substance use and legal-system impacts. Andrea's background includes work with adults who have survived abuse or neglect and with people navigating caregiver stress, cancer, aging concerns, and midlife transitions.

Sessions are conducted in English and are provided from her California practice. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire so she can learn about immediate needs and help plan the next steps.

Online approaches that fit your goals

Andrea often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in online work. CBT helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers clear strategies for trying different actions and reactions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce anxiety and help people notice patterns without getting overwhelmed.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person's situation, goals, and preferences and then suggest approaches to try together. Plans can change over time as needs and progress become clearer.

The practical benefit of online therapy is that it can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Online care can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on hectic days, and let people meet from wherever their schedule finds them. Confirm the specific session options available before booking so you know what format will be used.
