Andrea Hamilton, LPC, LMHC

Andrea Hamilton is a licensed counselor with nearly two decades of clinical experience. She holds a bachelor’s in psychology, a master’s in counselor education, and an MBA from Florida Atlantic University. Andrea practices in Florida and focuses on relationship concerns alongside a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues.

She spent much of her career in the child welfare system, helping children and parents navigate difficult transitions. Andrea has also worked with people affected by substance use, survivors of sexual assault, and individuals in the prison system across Dade and Broward Counties. That background gives her a practical sense of how life stress and trauma affect daily relationships.

Andrea helped open a female therapeutic group home in Broward County and a co-ed shelter in Dade County. Those roles involved program development and hands-on support, including coordinating care and daily routines. She brings that program experience into one-on-one sessions when helpful.

In sessions she focuses on discussing what is happening now and finding workable steps forward. She helps people address stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, parenting strain, and self-esteem concerns. Relationship difficulties are part of her focus, approached through conversations about patterns, needs, and communication.

Andrea works in English and practices as an LPC and LMHC in Florida. With 19 years of experience, she aims to make sessions straightforward and relevant to the issues a person brings.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and building practical skills. One common approach she uses emphasizes problem-solving and coping skills to manage stress, anxiety, and day-to-day triggers. This helps people develop step-by-step strategies for situations that cause distress.

Another frequent emphasis is on trauma-informed care, which centers on listening to someone’s experience and pacing the work to their needs. This approach supports recovery from abuse, loss, or other traumatic events by focusing on safety, stabilization, and gradual processing when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, remove travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let some people choose audio-only conversations if they need lower bandwidth or prefer not to use video. Ask about current options during the intake so sessions match your needs and routine.
