About Ondrea

Ondrea Haydel is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with eight years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, family conflict, parenting challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on a blend of evidence-based approaches to help clients build confidence, strengthen coping skills, and navigate difficult decisions about relationships and personal priorities. Her style emphasizes a nonjudgmental, client-centered stance that invites honest exploration of thoughts and feelings.

Ondrea aims to create an open space where practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing can be combined with deeper work on internal parts through Internal Family Systems when helpful. She also addresses a wide range of life concerns including blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, postpartum depression, financial worries, and coping with medical challenges like cancer.

Clients who seek support for communication problems, forgiveness, impulsivity, isolation, or questions about life purpose will find a therapist who balances validation with actionable strategies. Ondrea encourages taking the first step and works collaboratively to tailor therapy to each person’s goals and circumstances.

How these therapies translate to online sessions



Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps clients notice and dialogue with different parts of themselves, such as protective or wounded aspects, to reduce internal conflict and increase self-leadership; online work with IFS can support exploration of these parts through guided conversation and reflective exercises. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility by practicing acceptance and committed action, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions when paired with practical online assignments. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, providing concrete tools that transfer well to homework and follow-up between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will collaborate with each person to determine what methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. This collaborative exploration helps tailor session focus and the balance between skills-based work and deeper internal exploration.

Online therapy with Ondrea can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy or changing routines. These formats make it easier to access consistent support, follow through on action steps, and maintain momentum between meetings while accommodating different communication styles and life constraints.
