Andrea Joyce , LCPC, LMHC

Andrea Joyce is a licensed mental health professional practicing from Nebraska with 23 years of experience in clinical work. She holds the credentials LCPC and LMHC - LCPC meaning Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and LMHC meaning Licensed Mental Health Clinician - and combines extensive training with experience across agency, university, and law enforcement settings.

Andrea has a particular focus on trauma and related concerns, and she treats depression, anxiety, grief, post-traumatic stress, and a wide range of mood and adjustment challenges. She also works with families, foster care systems, juvenile court matters, and those experiencing relationship, identity, or life transition issues. Her practice addresses specialties such as stress, bipolar disorders, ADHD, anger, self-esteem, and issues tied to abandonment, adoption and foster care, codependency, and family of origin dynamics.

Her approach is person-centered and strength based, emphasizing meeting people where they are and honoring the experiences that shaped them. Andrea draws from client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, solution-focused, and trauma-informed techniques to help individuals build practical skills, reframe unhelpful patterns, and move forward toward their goals. She aims to create a respectful, forward-focused path that strengthens what is already working while addressing areas of struggle.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Andrea uses client-centered therapy to place the person and their goals at the center of care - this approach focuses on empathy, respect, and collaboration to help individuals explore their values and choices and is useful for many life transitions and relationship concerns.

She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and mood-related difficulties.

Trauma-focused methods are an additional cornerstone of her work, offering targeted strategies to process traumatic experiences and reduce their ongoing impact while building coping resources.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Andrea works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time to support progress.

Online work offers practical benefits for this collaborative process. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel barriers, and sustain regular contact between sessions when helpful. These options can make it easier to access consistent therapeutic support while maintaining the same licensed professional guidance one would expect in in-person care.
