About Andrea
Andrea Bednarz is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 20 years of experience supporting people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She focuses on helping people untangle relationship strain, parenting challenges, and the hard emotions that follow life changes. Andrea aims to create a calm, steady space where people can talk about what’s happening and figure out next steps.
Andrea draws on practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood concerns, substance misuse, and patterns that keep people stuck.
Background and approach
She often helps clients notice how early family dynamics and attachment issues shape current behavior. That makes it easier to change unhelpful habits and set clearer boundaries. She also works with people facing grief that can be hard to name, including pet loss and other disenfranchised grief.
Andrea helps clients move from numbing behaviors - like endless scrolling or substance use - toward healthier coping strategies they can use day to day. Treatment is paced to match each person’s readiness for change. Sessions are offered from New Hampshire and she conducts therapy in English.
She accepts international clients and uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to meet people where they are. Andrea emphasizes steady progress and practical tools you can try between meetings. Her style is direct but compassionate.
She expects honest work and supports people through the difficult parts of change so they can build a life that feels more authentic and manageable.
Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach involves identifying unhelpful behavior patterns and building alternative coping skills to reduce anxiety and stress; this method teaches tools people can try between sessions. Another helpful approach targets attachment and family-of-origin issues, helping people see how early relationships shape current reactions and then practice different ways of relating and setting boundaries.Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens collaboratively. Andrea will listen to your concerns, discuss possible methods, and tailor the plan to your goals and preferences. Together you decide what to try first and adjust as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work around low bandwidth. Live chat and messaging let you communicate in shorter bursts during the day and keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work when circumstances change.
