About Andrea

Dr. Andrea Hayes is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor working in North Carolina. She brings nine years of counseling experience and a background as an educator to her work.

She aims to make people feel comfortable and respected during sessions. Her earlier roles included work in prisons, juvenile justice, military facilities, and community agencies. That experience shaped her approach to issues like depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance use, trauma, and behavior challenges.

Background and approach

She also has experience addressing grief, anger, relationship concerns, and stress. Dr. Hayes uses person-centered work alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and she often includes solution-focused techniques.

She adjusts treatment plans to each person's needs and will discuss other methods if they seem helpful. Sessions focus on practical steps and tools people can use between meetings. She pays attention to how trust and respect affect progress.

Conversations are paced so people feel heard and can try different strategies without pressure. She also works on topics such as forgiveness, self-love, compassion fatigue, and issues affecting veterans and armed forces members. People who prefer direct, practical work tend to do well with her style.

She offers different session formats to fit schedules and circumstances. Those interested in beginning can complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Online support

How CBT and Person-Centered Work Translate Online

Person-centered counseling focuses on creating a warm, respectful space where a person feels heard. Online sessions use that same approach so conversations are driven by what the client brings and what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches concrete skills to change them. CBT online often includes short exercises, thought records, and practical homework to practice between sessions, which can be shared in messages or reviewed on video.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods like person-centered work or CBT, and adjust plans based on how helpful each approach feels. Clients take part in choosing what to try next and how fast to move.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates, try brief coping strategies, or check in between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and to continue work when travel or distance would otherwise be a barrier.
