Ondrea Hairston

Ondrea Hairston is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and depression. Her tone is straightforward and supportive for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Washington in 2005 while raising a family, so she understands juggling work and home demands. That background informs a practical approach to everyday challenges. Sessions focus on clear goals and steady steps toward relief.

Her work often addresses trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, and mood concerns. She also supports people facing caregiver strain, codependency, communication problems, and life changes. First responder and veteran issues are listed among her additional focus areas.

Ondrea draws on several therapy approaches. She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are central. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods guide how she builds trust and listens. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy are used to help people change unhelpful thoughts and improve emotional connection.

She offers care from Indiana and speaks English. International clients are accepted. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to availability. Ondrea emphasizes steady, practical work and a nonjudgmental space to talk and plan next steps.

How treatment approaches shape online work

Ondrea uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past harm and distress. This approach helps people process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing impact on daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her work and focuses on how relationships and early bonds influence present patterns and reactions. Client-Centered Therapy guides the pace of sessions, with the therapist following the person’s lead and emphasizing respectful listening.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend what to try first. Over time she adjusts the approach based on what helps most and what feels manageable for the client.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, turn a shorter check-in into a useful touchpoint, or avoid travel time. Online work can also make it easier to use specific techniques from Trauma-Focused Therapy or CBT in between sessions. Licensed professionals tailor practical arrangements to fit each person’s schedule and daily life.
