About Andrea Walker

Andrea Walker is an adult, adolescent, and family therapist with two decades of clinical experience who focuses on trauma-informed care and a broad range of emotional and behavioral concerns. She is licensed to practice social work in Montana, North Dakota, and Minnesota and holds certification in Interactive Play Therapy, a creative modality useful when words alone are not enough to express difficult feelings. Andrea combines structured therapeutic methods with expressive approaches to meet each client where they are and tailor care to individual needs.

Her work encompasses treatment for trauma related to childhood abuse, psychological, sexual, and physical abuse, domestic violence, neglect, and adjustment challenges, along with anxiety, depression, self-harm behaviors, attachment difficulties, personality-related concerns, and issues that arise during separation or divorce. She offers practical interventions that emphasize coping skills, emotion regulation, behavior management, and healthier communication patterns within family systems.

Andrea integrates several evidence-based techniques into her practice, including cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused interventions, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, motivational interviewing, and online sand tray and interactive play methods. She has incorporated many online tools to bridge in-person and remote work. Andrea approaches treatment with warmth and collaboration and aims to help people identify the best path forward for their healing and growth. She looks forward to the opportunity to support individuals and families as they move toward their next steps.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Healing



Andrea uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; this approach is practical for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors by teaching concrete skills for coping and problem solving. She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills - tools that are especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and patterns of self-harm or impulsivity. For clients whose lives have been shaped by traumatic events, Andrea offers eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, a targeted method that supports processing of distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time so therapy remains responsive and effective for the individual or family.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging add flexibility and make it easier to fit care into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access therapists from remote locations. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver many of the same therapeutic tools and exercises used in person, while offering scheduling convenience and multiple ways to communicate based on comfort and need.
