Andressa Little
Online Therapy for Adults & Couples in Texas
I’m Andressa Little, a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) providing online therapy to individuals, couples, and families across diverse identities, orientations, and family structures.
My approach to therapy is grounded, relational, and attentive to what unfolds in the room. I pay close attention not only to what clients say, but to how experiences show up moment-to-moment, shifts in tone, pauses, and relational patterns that often carry more information than insight alone.
Clients often describe me as direct, steady, and collaborative. I don’t position myself as the expert on your life, but I do bring structure, clinical perspective, and evidence-based skill to support change that feels realistic and sustainable.
How I Work
I see therapy as a shared process. You bring your lived experience; I bring training, curiosity, and a steady presence. Together, we look at how thoughts, emotions, and relational responses interact, particularly in situations that feel charged, confusing, or repetitive.
My work is grounded in evidence-based care, primarily Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with an attachment-informed lens. Rather than applying techniques rigidly, I adapt the work to fit your needs, goals, and capacity.
At times, we may explore earlier experiences when they help clarify current patterns. The focus, however, remains on how those patterns are operating now and what supports meaningful shifts.
I may offer reflections, ask questions that invite deeper awareness, or suggest between-session practices when helpful. These are always collaborative and guided by your goals, not requirements.
