About Andrea
Andrea Greenberg is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with 31 years of clinical experience. She focuses on adults navigating big life changes who want stronger emotional connection with themselves. Andrea works directly and with warmth, helping people identify what keeps them stuck and encouraging practical steps toward change.
She often supports adults coping with trauma, grief, stress, anxiety, mood shifts, relationship strains, and struggles with self-esteem and identity.
Background and approach
Her approach blends focused, goal-oriented work with attention to feelings and relationships. Sessions aim to be clear and grounded rather than vague or overly theoretical. Andrea uses a mix of methods tailored to each person.
That can mean addressing attachment patterns, using eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma memories, or practicing mindfulness to reduce anxiety. She draws on what fits the client’s goals and readiness rather than one fixed method. Her style is both direct and nurturing.
She asks for honesty and follow-through, and she also emphasizes self-care and compassion as part of change. Clients can expect practical suggestions, reflective conversation, and work on patterns that affect relationships and work life. Andrea brings decades of experience to each session and meets people where they are.
She helps clients clarify goals, try new behaviors, and track progress over time.
Approaches that translate to online care
Andrea uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and intimacy. That work focuses on recognizing patterns, naming needs, and trying small changes in how people relate to themselves and others.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for people who carry distressing trauma memories. EMDR helps process painful memories so they feel less overwhelming, and it can be adapted to work in thoughtful online sessions when appropriate.
The therapist views finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then suggest methods to test together rather than imposing a single route forward.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to keep continuity during life changes and to use shorter check-ins or longer sessions as needed. The practical flexibility helps people stay engaged and try out new ways of coping between meetings.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
EMDR
A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
