About Andree
Andree McColl-Ravanelli is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with seven years of experience. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, LGBTQ+ concerns, trauma and abuse, motivation struggles, self-esteem and confidence issues. Andree emphasizes the client as the expert in their own story and looks for strengths to build on during sessions.
She describes the first step toward change as courageous and offers supportive direction as people consider new ways forward. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and on recognizing past efforts that can be applied to current problems. Conversations are straightforward and aim to make progress manageable rather than overwhelming.
Andree helps people dealing with caregiver strain, communication problems, divorce and separation, and midlife questions. She also addresses money and financial stress, post-traumatic stress, sexuality, self-love, and women's issues. Life purpose is part of her focus for people wondering what comes next after a major change.
In session she listens for strengths to use in planning next steps, and she helps clients set small goals they can try between meetings. She works collaboratively to adjust the pace and focus as people learn more about what helps them. This practical, strengths-oriented aim guides how she supports clients through transitions and hard moments.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Andree uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer day-to-day functioning. One common focus is working to reduce stress and anxiety through skills that help manage overwhelming thoughts and reactions, which can make daily tasks easier to handle. Another strand of work addresses trauma and abuse by helping people name what happened, reduce its impact on current life, and build coping steps for triggers and memories.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means adjusting pace, trying small experiments between sessions, and checking in about what helps and what does not.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people meet from different locations if travel or distance would otherwise get in the way of regular meetings.
