Andrea Hare , LSCSW

Andrea Hare is a licensed therapist practicing in Kansas who focuses on guiding people through complex life challenges with a compassionate, evidence-informed approach. She holds an LSCSW, which stands for Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker, and uses that training to support clients facing depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, and grief.

She brings extensive experience working with a range of populations, including young adults, women, caregivers, and veterans, and she often assists those navigating major life transitions. Andrea’s practice emphasizes addressing communication barriers, isolation, guilt, shame, and control issues, and she is familiar with the emotional demands of postpartum adjustments, workplace stress, chronic health conditions, and family dynamics.

Drawing on trauma-informed methods and client-centered principles, Andrea creates a space where individuals can explore their experiences, build resilience, and pursue meaningful personal growth. She partners with clients to develop practical strategies for emotional well-being and sustainable change, aiming to help each person identify strengths and move toward greater empowerment.

Therapeutic approaches for online healing and growth

Andrea commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports taking values-driven steps even when emotions are challenging - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead, which can help people increase self-understanding and build confidence in relationships and decision making.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrea collaborates with each person to identify which methods align with their goals, preferences, and unique situation, and adjusts strategies as progress unfolds to ensure the best fit.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from home or other convenient locations, fit sessions around work and family responsibilities, and maintain continuity of care when schedules or circumstances change. Licensed professionals can use these formats effectively to support progress toward emotional and relational goals.
