Andrea Hare, LSCSW

Andrea Hare is a licensed social worker (LSCSW) practicing in Kansas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She also supports those managing compassion fatigue, addiction, parenting strain, and challenges with sleep or eating. Andrea frames work around practical goals and clear next steps to make therapy approachable and actionable.

Andrea draws on several well-known approaches to guide sessions. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small steps forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. Mindfulness and client-centered methods keep focus on the person’s experience in the moment.

Clients can expect conversations that emphasize steady problem solving and emotional validation. Andrea pays attention to how stress, chronic illness, caregiving, or life transitions affect daily routines and relationships. She aims to help people build coping skills they can use between sessions.

With four years of clinical experience, Andrea has worked with people navigating veteran and armed forces issues, adoption and foster care concerns, aging and end-of-life matters, and caregiver stress. She also supports clients dealing with trauma, domestic violence histories, and co-occurring conditions where appropriate.

Her practice focuses on collaboration: setting small, realistic goals and tracking progress. People who want straightforward guidance and practical tools for handling life changes may find her style helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small, meaningful steps toward those values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life changes where motivation and direction feel unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It works well for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience, offering listening, reflection, and support so people can find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. She often combines elements from different approaches so the plan fits the person’s life rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and keep continuity during life transitions.
