How her approaches shape online family and parenting work
Andraya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that affect family life. CBT breaks big problems into small, testable steps and is useful for managing behavior and changing unhelpful routines.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help caregivers respond with more calm and focus. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention skills that can reduce reactivity and make communication feel clearer.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andraya works with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is or isn’t helping and adjusts plans as family needs shift.
