About Andrea
Dr. Andrea Wheeler is a Maryland-based MD psychologist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She supports those coping with ADHD, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma, intimacy issues, parenting strain, and shifts in mood or purpose.
Her manner is calm and practical and she aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone seeking help. Dr. Wheeler works with clients to set clear, collaborative goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on small changes that add up over time. She uses everyday language and straightforward strategies so people can apply what they learn between sessions. Her approach draws from several methods, including Attachment-based therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, alongside cognitive and emotionally focused tools.
This mix lets her tailor work to problems like panic, depression, codependency, and caregiver stress. She pays close attention to how past relationships shape current patterns. People who meet with her can expect a mix of talking, practical exercises, and reflection.
Therapy may involve skills to manage anxiety, tasks to test new behaviors, and conversations about meaning and forgiveness. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. With 17 years of experience, she balances clinical knowledge with a human approach.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or messaging. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.

Online support
Attachment and Action-Oriented Approaches Online
Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and behavior. It helps people notice patterns in closeness and trust and then try new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts while taking steps toward what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions because it combines values-based action with practical skills.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Dr. Wheeler works with clients to match methods to their goals and preferences. Together they try approaches, notice what helps, and adjust plans so therapy stays useful and relevant to daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people read facial cues and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break during a busy day. Live chat and messaging support quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on steady progress.
