About Andrea
Andrea Browning is a New York LMHC with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addiction, relationship issues, and questions about life purpose. She also addresses concerns such as panic attacks, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem difficulties.
Andrea began her career in outpatient clinics focused on addiction and co-occurring mental health issues. Over time she moved into private practice and trauma work. Her practice draws on Internal Family Systems, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness approaches alongside other methods she has used over the years.
In sessions she helps people notice how thoughts, body sensations, and relationships interact. She often uses mindfulness to reduce reactivity and invite clearer thinking. With trauma-focused methods she supports people in working through painful memories and their ongoing effects.
Andrea also uses Internal Family Systems ideas to highlight different parts of a person that hold strong feelings or protective roles. That approach looks at how those parts relate to one another and to the person’s deeper values. Her style is practical and steady, focusing on helpful steps rather than abstract promises.
Clients seeking a therapist for life transitions, unresolved trauma, or persistent anxiety can expect straightforward conversation about goals and next steps. She asks questions, offers exercises to try between sessions, and checks in on what is or isn’t working. If you are considering therapy, confirm current session options before booking and use the matching process to schedule a first appointment.
How Andrea’s approaches translate to online work
Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple noticing of breath, body sensations, and thoughts. Online sessions can include guided breathing, brief body scans, and exercises to lower reactivity that clients can repeat between meetings. This approach is often used for anxiety, stress, and ongoing mood symptoms.Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses how past hurts continue to affect daily life. In sessions the therapist helps the person work carefully through memories and the patterns they create, aiming to reduce their hold on current behavior. This approach is commonly used for post-traumatic stress, panic, and trauma-related symptoms.
Internal Family Systems looks at different parts of the self that carry strong emotions or roles, such as a protective part or one that feels abandoned. Online conversations can guide clients to notice and speak with these parts, helping them shift how those parts interact and reducing internal conflict.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, and then try methods together to see what fits. That collaborative process helps shape a plan focused on practical steps and adjustments over time.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. These practical benefits help people maintain continuity of care while balancing day-to-day demands.
