About Ondrea
Ondrea Hairston greets people with a calm, straightforward approach. She is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience and understands how stress and life changes can feel overwhelming. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and the everyday pressures that interfere with daily life.
Ondrea draws on practical methods that people can use right away. She listens first and helps clients name the patterns that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
Then she introduces tools to shift thinking, soothe strong feelings, and improve how people connect with others. Her background includes many roles across social work settings, and she completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Washington in 2005 while raising a family. That experience influences how she talks about work-life balance and caregiving stress with clients.
Sessions are intended to be a space for honest conversation without judgment. Ondrea helps people break problems into manageable steps and sets clear goals for change. She supports practical problem solving alongside emotional healing.
People who want help with communication problems, codependency, life purpose, first responder or veteran-related concerns, postpartum mood changes, or end-of-life stress can discuss these topics in session. Ondrea works collaboratively to match strategies to each person’s situation and goals.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people see how early connections shape current reactions. In online sessions this can look like talking through interaction patterns and practicing new responses in real time to improve closeness and trust.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them with small behavioral experiments. Online CBT sessions often include homework, thought logs, and short skills coaching that can be done between video or chat meetings.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to ground attention and reduce reactivity. These techniques are easy to practice during a brief phone check-in or as guided exercises over video or text exchanges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and practical constraints, then recommend which methods to try first. That plan can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.
Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and closer observation of body language. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates, ask quick questions, and practice skills between scheduled sessions.
