Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies help set clear, achievable steps for change. Sessions tend to emphasize concrete skills, short-term planning, and realistic next steps that can be tried between meetings.

How her approaches translate to online work
Andraya uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that worsen family stress. CBT is practical and often includes home practice, which can fit well with remote sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and support calmer responses during parenting challenges. These skills are introduced in short exercises and practiced between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andraya collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. She adapts the pace and tools so they fit the situation rather than forcing a single model on every problem.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. It can also let people practice new strategies at home or right after a school meeting. Licensed professionals can help weigh practical choices and set a plan that fits the client’s routine.
