Andrea Coulter

Andrea Coulter is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who brings 12 years of experience to her practice. She works in Vermont and supports people facing stress, anxiety, mood challenges, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to identity and relationships. Her style is warm and compassionate, while also willing to push clients when growth calls for it.

Andrea aims to help people gain practical tools and clearer insight so they can move toward the life they want. She meets people where they are and builds a shared plan with clear steps. Establishing a strong working relationship is central to how she approaches the work.

Her clinical lens draws from Trauma-Focused Therapy along with acceptance and behavior-based methods. She also uses attachment-focused and client-centered ways of working to address how relationships and past losses shape current struggles. Sessions mix talking, skill practice, and reflection aimed at concrete change.

Andrea has supported people with depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, intimacy-related concerns, and substance issues. She also focuses on abandonment, attachment injuries, caregiver stress, codependency, and first responder challenges. Her work includes addressing family of origin problems and patterns that repeat across relationships.

People who choose Andrea tend to want a therapist who listens closely, names patterns, and helps translate insight into day-to-day steps. She helps clients weigh options, try new ways of coping, and adjust plans as progress unfolds.

How Andrea’s approaches translate to online work

Andrea draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past harm, focusing on safety, pacing, and building coping skills that help reduce day-to-day distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify personal values and practice actions that match those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and to support new ways of relating to self and others. These approaches are described and tried collaboratively so the plan fits the person’s goals and comfort level.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, preferences, and goals and will adjust methods as progress and feedback indicate. This makes sessions a team effort rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, remove travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins or longer weekly sessions depending on needs. Clients can expect to work on skills, try experiments between sessions, and revisit plans to keep progress practical and usable.
