Andrea Parfet

With 13 years of post-master’s clinical experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring a background rooted in real talk, not sterile clinical detachment. I provide specialized virtual therapy for adults across Missouri and Kansas dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and perfectionism. What drew me here is watching high-achieving adults suffer under impossible standards while their inner critic runs the show. That professional background shaped a practice grounded in a collaborative, human partnership. Using active, evidence-based tools like EMDR and CBT, we ditch the fluff and actually help your nervous system feel safe.

My approach to therapy is grounded, collaborative, and entirely real. Instead of passive nodding or sterile clinical detachment, I partner with you to tackle anxiety, depression, trauma, and perfectionism. Using active, evidence-based tools like EMDR and CBT, our focus is on quieting your harsh inner critic, processing past wounds, and helping your nervous system actually feel different.

We start with a straightforward, no-pressure intake process where we ditch the clinical runaround and endless paperwork. Your first session is a real, collaborative conversation to talk about what brought you in, figure out what you want to change, and make sure we're a great fit. There are no nodding robots here! Just a warm, direct space where you can finally drop the armor and start figuring out what it looks like to feel different.
