About Andrea
Andrea Schmidt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Colorado with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and low self esteem. Andrea aims to create a space where clients feel heard and can begin to look honestly at the patterns that shape their reactions and choices.
She uses plain talk to help people notice the thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Andrea emphasizes awareness first - noticing perceptions, projections, and habits - then testing new ways of thinking and acting. Sessions are relational and client-centered; she listens closely and guides conversations toward practical steps.
Andrea often blends solution-focused strategies with cognitive-behavioral ideas to build clear, attainable goals. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people face ambivalence about change. Attachment-based ideas inform work around intimacy, communication, and family patterns.
In session she helps clients break down big problems into small, doable actions. That might mean changing a reaction, testing a new boundary, or practicing different ways to talk with a partner. The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
She encourages people to use their own strengths and past successes as tools for change. Andrea frames help-seeking as a step toward self-love and less shame, guilt, or isolation. She invites prospective clients to begin by describing what they want to change and what matters most to them.
