About Andrea
Andrea Browning is a licensed mental health counselor with 23 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and life changes. She works with adults facing addiction, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Her approach is aimed at practical relief and clearer thinking so people can function better day to day.
Andrea began her career in outpatient addiction treatment and later expanded into trauma work.
Background and approach
Over two decades she has combined talk-based therapy with body-aware practices so people feel heard and grounded. She draws from Internal Family Systems and trauma-focused methods alongside mindfulness practices. Sessions typically focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, building coping skills, and reducing the impact of painful memories.
Andrea pays attention to attachment and family-of-origin issues, and she helps people address shame, guilt, abandonment wounds, and dissociation when those come up. She also supports people working through panic attacks, personality disorder challenges, bipolar-related concerns, and questions about life purpose and self-love. For those exploring identity and LGBT concerns, she offers a nonjudgmental space to talk through next steps.
Andrea offers a steady, pragmatic style that balances safety with movement toward change. She encourages curiosity about parts of the self and uses structured tools as needed. Her New York practice reflects years of varied clinical settings and a focus on trauma-informed care.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Mindfulness Therapy helps people slow down and notice thoughts, feelings, and body signals in the present moment. Online sessions can include guided breathing and short practices to reduce anxiety and improve focus.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on easing the hold of painful memories and reducing reactive responses. In teletherapy this can mean gradual, paced work on distressing material while building tools to manage intense emotions between sessions.
Internal Family Systems treats difficult feelings as parts of the self that have roles and needs. Over video or phone a therapist can guide conversations between parts so people gain more internal balance and self-leadership.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then adapt methods over time. Clients often try short exercises in session and report back so plans evolve together.
Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or screens are tiring. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short check-ins, written reflections, or on-the-go support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
