About me
Hello and welcome to my profile! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Missouri and have been helping individuals seek life solutions for over 10 years. I enjoy helping clients work on a variety of issues but am especially passionate about helping women overcome issues related to anxiety and life changes (relationship, motherhood, menopause, etc).
Methods that I have found particularly effective for clients in therapy include but are not limited to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Exposure and Response Prevention. For couples and relationship therapy I draw from the Gottman Method to guide the progression.
Each client is unique and therapy is planned around the client’s needs and goals. I feel that trust in the therapeutic relationship is the basis for our work together and we will start out investing time to build that relationship.
I am hopeful that through a strong therapeutic alliance and evidence-based methods we can make excellent progress toward your goals. Let’s work together to find joy and value in your life that you never thought possible!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Andrea Foerster. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Andrea has helped me in the past and was very responsive to reconnecting and helping me again ! she’s very compassionate and easy to talk to.
Andrea is an incredible therapist and always makes me feel like she cares about my well-being. I feel like I am making progress in my mental health since working with Andrea and I look forward to our sessions every week!
Had a great experience with her. She listens to everything that I have to say very carefully and respects what my circumstances are
Andrea is caring and understanding. She maintains an objective viewpoint and provides very helpful and practical actionable advice. I strongly recommend Andrea and Better Help.
I’ve been in therapy since I was 12 (30 now) and Andrea is the best therapist I’ve had
Andrea is an amazing therapist has helped me in several key areas in my life. I am so glad to be working with her!
Andrea is the most caring and wonderful therapist I have ever worked with. No matter how I was struggling she always validated that my feelings were okay and we talked through ways to view things differently or ways to work through them. She helped me through 6 months of a very hard time in my life and I will miss talking with her on a regular basis.
I love Andrea! She’s super sweet and professional and I am glad I get to work with her. I’ve seen some improvements in myself but I think I have a long way to go. I like her a lot!
Andrea takes the time to listen to your concerns and issues. Her effort and caring allows me to feel comfortable and open with myself and her. I have progressed emotionally and mentally since seeing her. 15 out of 10.
Checks in with me consistently to keep me accountable and shows me that she cares which means a lot!
Andrea's personality and caring approach helped me to feel comfortable opening up to her. She has talked me through several things and provided me with useful tools to help me.
I cannot say enough about Andrea and how she literally has helped save my life. Her input, recommendations, understanding, and counseling continues to be a part of my long term recovery.
She has a way of making you feel very important and that your concerns are valid. Reminds me that I am doing well and I believe her
Andrea has been an emotional life saver for me. In her I found someone who has empathy and amazing advice as well as offering a way for me to process my emotions. Not sure what an would have done without her guidance during this difficult time.
I’ve been working with Andrea Foerster for about 8 months and I have been making great strides in my personal growth with her assistance. She’s a great listener, she remembers details from previous discussions and offers up great tools and advice to help me to continue to grow. Andrea gets a high recommendation from me.
Andrea has helped me truly make my brain a better place to live. I’m excited about life and have skills now to be a better version of myself.
Andrea is so wonderful- I have very quickly felt like I can confide in her and trust her. She responds quickly and is never judgmental. Because of her, I have recommended BetterHelp to all of my friends!
Starting therapy with Andrea was the best decision I have ever made in my entire life. I was in a moment of crisis when I came to this webesite and they matched me with the most perfect therapist for my needs. She is unbelievably kind and helpful and positive and professional. I can’t put into words how much I have learned from Andrea and how much I enjoyed my many hours of time with her. She is a wonderful bright light of wisdom and I am so grateful for this chance to learn from her.❤️
Andrea is a life saver. As someone who was quite skeptical of therapy and had been burnt by a bad experience before meeting Andrea, I felt immensely lucky to have found her. She is able to really understand the underlying issues that might be driving external symptoms and helps with very practical ways to address the root causes gradually. It’s felt like I have my very own cheerleader, and I am forever so grateful for Andrea!
Andrea Foerester is one of the most amazing people I have ever talked to and she has impacted me in the most positive way!
Working with Andrea has been a great and positive experience! As someone who has struggled with anxiety I find her calming interaction to be something I look forward to. Each week she challenges me with exercises geared to combat my anxiety while always being sure to make herself get available to messaging if I’m experiencing heightened anxiety. I always look forward to speaking with her and it has helped my interactions with others as well as my own self image and my work relationships as well. Highly recommend!!
Andrea has been great to work with. She’s very understanding and actively listens during every session. She has provided so much guidance and coping skill options to help me deal with the issues that pop up in my daily life.
Andrea has been the best therapist ive worked with in a long time. She is supportive and shows that she cares. Andrea is very responsive and knowledgeable. She goes above and beyond and has made living life a lot easier! Lol
Andrea is very good about listening to my concerns as it relates to my particular situation. There are probably many ways she can offer her expertise, but she respects my personal interest in knowing how humans behave as well as my emotional struggle, as annoying as it probably is for her! Haha
I’m truly amazed at just how comfortable my counselor makes me feel. She makes it feel like we’re just two friends chatting over coffee but one of us walks away with knowledge and a better understanding of how we are able to make our lives as happy and healthy as we truly want them to be. The other hopefully walks away with knowing she has planted seeds of hope and inspired us to be the person we want to be and have the life we truly want. Hands down best counselor.
She is so kind and understanding. She is always helping me focus on the issues at hand even when I try to deflect and trail off talking about my animals. She really has been amazing to work with and I can’t wait to see how she can help me next
Andrea is a kind, smart and caring counselor. She guides you through ways to express and deal with how you are feeling and gives you the tools to manage them and succeed in your everyday life. I feel so much better through our sessions and appreciate her openness, encouragement and expertise tremendously.
Really appreciate the process and conversations with Andrea.
Andrea is so kind and comforting!! She listens and is very understanding. I’m glad I found her and this app. :~)
Andrea is very understanding and has great knowledge into what I need to succeed in my counseling. She responds timely and has given me tools to use daily if not hourly to get me on my way.
Andrea is an amazing counselor, she's helped me so much in such a short time. Therapy is a wonderful tool to use and I feel that Andrea really embodies the symbol therapy represents.
Andrea has been incredibly warm, supportive, thoughtful, flexible, compassionate, understanding, and, ultimately, helpful-- all the things you would want for a counselor. She is responsive and flexible with communication, is great at messaging and also great with video sessions. Can't recommend highly enough.
I highly recommend counseling with Andrea. She helped me analyze my situation and her feedback made me think what direction I need to move forward. Some times we need experts like Andrea to help us guide when we are in black hole. Thanks Andrea.
Andrea is great! She is so encouraging and responds in a timely manner. I appreciate how she incorporates my faith into our conversation and how she prays for me.
Extremely helpful after numerous failed attempts to find the help I was wanting and needing.
