About Andrea
Andrea Honey is a licensed social worker in Michigan with 30 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety and those facing grief, low self-esteem, or major life changes. Her approach aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and respectful.
Andrea creates a calm space where people can talk about what’s worried them. She listens without judgment and focuses on practical steps that fit each person’s life.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals, steady progress, and skills people can use between meetings. Her background includes long work with people living with chronic illness, HIV and AIDS concerns, and those affected by spinal cord or brain injuries. Andrea also has experience in hospice and end-of-life counseling and supporting people with intellectual disability.
She is familiar with seasonal affective disorder and phobias as areas of focus. Over three decades she has helped people build motivation, strengthen confidence, and cope with compassion fatigue that can come from caregiving roles. The work is collaborative: she and the person identify priorities and try small changes to test what helps.
Progress is paced to each person’s needs. Sessions can be scheduled in formats that suit day-to-day life, and Andrea supports people as they work toward clearer routines and steadier emotional responses. She encourages taking the next step when someone is ready to begin.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and steady progress. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with clearer, more balanced thoughts; this can reduce anxiety and help with stress management. Another approach emphasizes building coping skills and daily routines to manage mood, motivation, and symptoms of seasonal affective disorder or compassion fatigue.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea collaborates with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods based on what helps most. The process is a team effort to find strategies that fit the person’s life and pace.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit short check-ins or brief reflections between appointments. These options make it easier to maintain consistent work on stress, anxiety, phobias, grief, and life changes while fitting therapy into a routine.
