Therapist

Virtual • Austin, TX


I'm a relational therapist specializing in treating grief & loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, & parent-child relationships with adolescents & adults. Feeling stuck in a particular area of life such as your relationships, school/work, identity, or emotions? Sometimes we find ourselves repeating old habits that no longer serve us. I often work with individuals experiencing issues around shame and self-worth, who view themselves much harsher than the rest of the world. I offer room to explore these patterns with compassionate curiosity and supportive guidance for you to start trying something different – space for a new narrative.


To heal & move forward you first need to feel seen & heard. I listen deeply to carefully integrate different therapeutic approaches based upon what the individual or family needs from me. The human brain is hardwired for relationship & connection, so I work hard to build a safe space for us to explore, learn, & grow together.


There's a wealth of grit & resiliency inside each of us. It's my job to help you build on the internal strengths that already exist in you. Healing, growth, exploration, & change all take place in a secure relationship – including ours. Beginning therapy is an act of hope & a bid for health. Get in touch for a free 20m consultation & let's get started.

Support for where you are. Tools for where you want to go.

I’m Andrea DeLeon, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas and Illinois. For 16 years, I’ve helped children, individuals, and families navigate challenges and find a path forward.

My experience in medical and forensic social work has shaped the way I care for clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, family concerns, and life transitions. I’ve also supported people navigating complex medical needs, pregnancy and postpartum experiences, aging, domestic violence, and the needs of children with special health care needs.

I believe effective therapy begins with understanding you. Together, we’ll build on your strengths, explore what’s keeping you stuck, and develop practical tools that fit your life. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your goals.

I hold a Master of Social Work, a Master of Business Administration, and a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work. When I’m away from work, I enjoy running, puzzles, community connections, and time with friends.

You don’t have to figure everything out on your own. When you’re ready, I’m here to help you take the next step.

I love helping people navigate anxiety and the ups and downs of everyday life—because let’s be honest, it can get a little chaotic. I aim to create a space that feels supportive, nonjudgmental, and real, where you can be yourself. Along the way, I’ll help you gain insight, build tools, and maybe even share a few laughs as you grow into the version of yourself you’re working toward.
