About Andrea
Andrea Browning is a licensed mental health counselor with 23 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. She also supports those coping with addictions, relationship struggles, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Andrea works in a straightforward, calm manner. Sessions focus on practical tools and honest conversation. She invites people to notice how their body and thoughts respond to stress and to try small experiments that feel manageable.
How Andrea works
Her background includes many years in outpatient clinics and independent practice in New York. Early work centered on addiction and co-occurring mental health issues. Over time she shifted to trauma-focused care and approaches that consider parts of the self.
In sessions Andrea often blends mindfulness practices with trauma-focused methods and parts-based work. That combination is used to help people manage panic, reduce shame, and build self-compassion. She explains techniques clearly and adapts them to each person's pace.
Andrea describes therapy as collaborative. She helps people name what matters, try new coping skills, and track small changes over time. Meetings are a place to make sense of painful experiences and to practice different ways of responding.

Online support options
Practical approaches for trauma and self-awareness online
Andrea uses mindfulness to help people notice thoughts, sensations, and emotions without judgment; this can reduce reactivity and help with anxiety and stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to address the lingering effects of traumatic events and post-traumatic stress by gently processing difficult memories and building coping skills. Internal Family Systems focuses on identifying and working with different parts of the self that hold strong feelings or protective behaviors, which can help with shame, codependency, and complex emotional patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, chat or messaging work well for short check-ins or when people prefer writing. These options give flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care across different circumstances.
