Andrea Bragdon , LMHC, LCPC

Andrea Bragdon is a licensed mental health professional who blends formal clinical training with years of experience as an energy healer and life coach. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, challenges with self-esteem, and career or entrepreneurial transitions, and she has supported many who have experienced emotional, sexual, or physical trauma as well as family-of-origin concerns. Her practice spans relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and career questions, mood disorders, and a range of identity-focused topics.

Originally from Maine, she trained at the graduate level and has lived and worked in both Maine and Florida; she is currently based in Florida. Andrea holds the credentials LMHC and LCPC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - which indicate advanced graduate training and state licensure to provide psychotherapy. Across seven years of clinical work she has developed an eclectic, client-tailored style that draws on mindfulness, solution-focused techniques, inner-child work, visualization, mind-body approaches, shadow work, internal family systems ideas, and elements of NLP when appropriate.

Her counseling style is warm and supportive, often lightened with a touch of humor, and she emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in treatment. Andrea individualizes dialogue and treatment plans to meet each person’s needs and goals, and she frames change as a courageous step that she is ready to support and empower.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Andrea integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy into her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the therapist offers empathy and support so clients can explore and develop their own solutions - this approach is helpful for building self-esteem and strengthening relationships. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation, which can aid with stress, trauma symptoms, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrea works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so treatment remains relevant and practical. She aims to tailor sessions to individual values and circumstances.

Online therapy with Andrea is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, connect across distances including international clients, and maintain continuity of support during life changes.
