About Andrea
Dr. Andrea Wheeler is a Maryland-based psychologist with 17 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She works with individuals coping with mood and attention concerns, addictions, relationship and intimacy struggles, parenting strain, and career or life-purpose questions.
She also addresses trauma, panic, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her approach is collaborative and practical. Sessions focus on setting clear goals together and working step by step toward them.
Background and approach
She aims to create a calm space where people can talk about hard feelings without judgment. Short-term strategies and longer-term work are both used depending on what a person needs. Dr.
Wheeler draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings and attachment patterns. She also uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and try different actions. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas guide how she builds a working relationship with each person.
She describes herself as someone who listens closely and helps people translate insights into everyday change. Many clients begin by addressing immediate coping skills, then move to deeper themes like family of origin, codependency, forgiveness, or life transitions. The pace is matched to each individual’s comfort and goals.

Online support
Emotion and behavior work that fits your schedule
Dr. Wheeler often combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people understand feelings and take values-driven action. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape relationships and internal patterns, which can help with attachment issues, intimacy concerns, and deep emotional pain. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches skills to accept difficult thoughts and commit to actions that match personal values, useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.She approaches choice of method as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasize feeling-focused work, skill-based exercises, or a blend of both during online sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and tracking nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well with lower bandwidth or for a shorter check-in during a break. Live chat and text messaging can support quick reflections, homework check-ins, or moments when typing is more convenient. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into everyday life.
