About Andrea
Andrea Greenberg is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with 31 years of clinical experience. She focuses on adults navigating major life changes and emotional challenges. Her style combines direct guidance with a supportive, compassionate presence.
Andrea works with people who notice old patterns and trauma responses affecting relationships, work, and self-worth. She often helps those dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and trauma-related concerns. Sessions aim to identify recurring patterns and develop practical steps forward.
Background and approach
Her approach balances emotional attunement with accountability. Andrea encourages self-care, self-compassion, and active participation in the work of change. She offers clear feedback and tools while also holding a steady, empathetic space.
Therapeutic methods Andrea uses include attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, EMDR for trauma processing, mindfulness practices, and relationship-focused techniques informed by the Gottman Method. She combines these to match each person’s needs rather than using a single formula. Andrea’s work is practical and goal-oriented.
Conversations explore what keeps someone stuck and what small steps could shift that pattern. The emphasis is on meaningful change over time, with attention to emotional safety and real-life application. People who connect best with her are ready to reflect and take action.
She aims to help clients build stronger emotional awareness, clearer boundaries, and more satisfying relationships with themselves and others.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses; online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to spot patterns and practice new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and the client’s own goals, with the clinician offering empathic support and guidance so clients can find their own solutions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps process traumatic memories through guided procedures; practitioners adapt EMDR for video or phone work with clear instructions and paced steps to manage intensity.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, history, and goals to pick methods that fit. That may mean combining attachment ideas, client-centered work, mindfulness exercises, or EMDR over time rather than using one fixed model.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial expression and use visual aids, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat works for focused check-ins, and text messaging supports brief coaching or ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work when in-person meetings are not possible.
