About Andrea

Dr. Andrea Burgio-Murphy is a licensed clinical psychologist in Georgia who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a wide range of individual issues. She helps people manage anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, eating and sleeping problems, and anger.

She also supports those dealing with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, and life transitions. She brings 21 years of professional experience to her work. Sessions aim to be practical and goal-oriented while keeping the therapist-client relationship collaborative and respectful.

Background and approach

Conversations are shaped to each person’s needs, with attention to what is happening now and what patterns from the past might be getting in the way of change. Her approach blends research-based techniques with psychodynamic ideas. That means she uses evidence-based strategies to build coping skills, while also looking briefly at past experiences that may affect current habits.

The goal is to teach skills that are useful day to day and to remove obstacles that keep those skills from sticking. Clients can expect straightforward talk and tailored plans rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. She emphasizes clear goals and practical tools alongside support and sensitivity.

The work is paced to match individual needs and strengths. Dr. Burgio-Murphy holds the Georgia psychologist license PSY003242.

Sessions are offered in English and through multiple remote formats to fit different schedules.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Dr. Burgio-Murphy uses evidence-based techniques alongside psychodynamic thinking to help people build practical coping skills and understand recurring patterns. One common approach focuses on teaching concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood, and everyday stress; these sessions emphasize behaviors and strategies you can try between meetings. A second approach looks briefly at how past experiences shape present reactions so that new skills can be learned more easily and held over time. Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they adjust the focus as progress is made and needs change. Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. These options allow for flexible scheduling, easier access from home, and follow-up between sessions when helpful. Many people find that having multiple formats makes it simpler to maintain steady progress and stay connected with their therapist.
