Background and approach

She holds an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - with New York registration NY LCSW R057300-01. Over nearly three decades she has worked in multiple settings helping people who face addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, divorce, grief, parenting challenges, and other life stresses. Her style is collaborative and client-centered.

She helps clients set clear goals together and focuses on strengths and practical steps. She will offer direction, information, and suggestions when those are helpful, while treating the client as the expert on their life. Andrea uses a mix of approaches that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness techniques, solution-focused work, and motivational interviewing.

Those methods support coping skills, behavior change, clearer communication, and gradual progress toward achievable goals. She accepts clients in English and works with people in New York as well as international clients through online formats. If someone needs immediate help in a crisis, she asks them to call local emergency services or 1-800-273-TALK for 24-hour support.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Work

Client-centered work means sessions focus on the person and their goals. The therapist listens, helps identify priorities, and shapes plans around what the client wants to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with clear strategies and small homework tasks to practice between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Andrea will discuss what feels most useful, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on the client's needs and preferences. The goal is to build practical skills and steady progress together rather than imposing one fixed method.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules, travel constraints, or different time zones for international clients. They also let people practice new skills in real life and bring immediate questions into the next session. Overall the online options support continuity, convenience, and steady work toward the goals you set with your therapist.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
