About Andrea

Andrea Dilley-Frame is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, and addiction. Her work often focuses on problems with attachment, abandonment, codependency, and communication.

She also addresses workplace stress and family of origin issues. Andrea keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens for the patterns that keep causing pain and then helps people try different ways to respond.

Background and approach

She uses tools from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy along with mindfulness and motivational interviewing. Those tools are combined to match each person's needs. In sessions she helps clients name what is happening and try skills to change it.

That can look like learning new ways to talk to someone, practicing emotion regulation skills, or testing small behavioral changes. She frames setbacks as learning opportunities rather than failures. Andrea draws on two decades of practice to guide treatment choices.

She pays attention to how early relationships shaped current patterns and how current stressors keep problems going. The result is a plan that aims to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day coping. People who choose her often want clear strategies plus a thoughtful look at relationship patterns.

She works by discussing goals, trying techniques in real life, and adjusting the plan over time.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice these patterns and try new ways of connecting in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood-related symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. DBT techniques can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when communication becomes a recurring problem.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use based on goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what works, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to a fixed method.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face to face when that helps learning new skills. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, coaching moments, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and practice new skills between sessions.
