About Armando
Armando Severino is a licensed mental health counselor based in New York who helps people manage anxiety, stress, grief, and major life changes. He draws on practical tools and straightforward conversation to help people build on their strengths. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and aim to be clear and down-to-earth.
Armando uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. He often starts with strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Background and approach
Motivational interviewing is used when people are weighing change or feeling stuck, helping them find their own motivation. Client-centered methods guide the tempo of sessions so people set the goals and pace. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas can be added for managing painful feelings while moving toward valued actions.
The focus stays on small, practical steps that fit everyday life. Over eight years of clinical work inform his practice, including experience with trauma, addiction, parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and caregiver stress. That background helps him recognize patterns and suggest clear options rather than only discussing problems.
People working with Armando can expect short-term skill building or longer-term support depending on need. He emphasizes collaboration, so treatment choices are discussed together and adjusted as life changes. The approach is straightforward and aimed at making day-to-day life easier.
Practical approaches for online care
Armando commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and then trying small behavioral experiments to see what changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck in them, and it emphasizes acting toward what matters to the person.Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will listen to a person's goals and preferences, suggest options, and adjust methods over time. The process is collaborative, with regular check-ins about what is helping and what might be changed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, between-session support, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life while using approaches that address anxiety, stress, and related concerns.
