Ondrea Hairston, LCSW - Therapist in Indiana

About Ondrea

Ondrea Hairston is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience. She listens without judgment and helps people take practical steps toward feeling more stable and connected. She draws on experience across many areas of social work.

Ondrea understands how stress from work, caregiving, or life transitions can pile up. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, and post-traumatic stress. Her approach centers on building a trusting relationship first.

Background and approach

She uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early bonds shape current patterns. She also uses Client-Centered techniques to keep the pace directed by the client and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions aim to be practical and down to earth.

Ondrea helps clients develop clearer communication, reduce impulsive reactions, and find healthier ways to cope with loss or life changes. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, isolation, or questions about life purpose. Based in Indiana, she combines clinical experience with real-world understanding from raising a family while completing graduate school.

That background informs a compassionate, problem-solving style that focuses on small, doable changes to improve day-to-day life.

Online support

Attachment-informed care delivered online

Ondrea uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns, helping people understand why they repeat certain relational habits and how to change them. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and letting the client's goals guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep symptoms like anxiety or low mood in place.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ondrea works together with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs and goals, adjusting techniques over time based on what helps most. This collaborative way keeps sessions practical and focused on the changes the client wants to see.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and reading nonverbal cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are handy for shorter check-ins, quick coping strategies, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity with a licensed professional regardless of schedule or location.
