About Andrea
Andrea Coulter is a licensed counselor with 12 years of experience who practices in Vermont. She holds an Illinois LCPC and a Vermont LCMHC and combines warmth with honest feedback. Andrea focuses on helping people build practical skills to manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns.
She aims to help clients notice patterns and try new ways of coping that fit their lives. Andrea listens carefully and works side by side with each person to create a plan that meets their goals.
Background and approach
Her style is collaborative - she asks questions, offers ideas, and checks in about what is or isn't helpful. Expect a balance of supportive reflection and direct skill-building during sessions. Her work addresses a broad range of issues including trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, bipolar and depressive symptoms, and challenges around family of origin or caregiver stress.
She also helps people navigate codependency, abandonment or attachment struggles, and recovery from substance use. Andrea draws on several evidence-informed approaches to match methods to the problem at hand. Sessions typically focus on concrete skills for coping and emotion regulation alongside exploring how past experiences shape current patterns.
She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance-based work, and emotion-focused methods to reduce distress and increase meaningful action. The aim is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes. Andrea welcomes people who want a thoughtful, steady therapist who will both support and challenge them.
She accepts international clients and offers appointments via multiple online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Andrea uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take values-guided actions. ACT focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to small steps that move life in a chosen direction.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This work helps people recognize attachment needs and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Andrea will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together she and the client decide which strategies to emphasize and adjust the plan over time to better fit real life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for longer sessions and interactive work, phone can be lighter touch or lower bandwidth, chat is good for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing brief contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
