About Andrea
Andrea Greenberg is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with 31 years of clinical experience. She works with adults in midlife who are facing big transitions and want deeper emotional connection and clearer direction. Andrea emphasizes clear, compassionate care that combines challenge with support.
Andrea often helps people who notice old patterns from trauma showing up in relationships, work, or self-esteem. She asks direct questions and encourages accountability while also offering steady empathy.
How Andrea works
Sessions focus on practical steps and insight rather than staying at the surface. Her approach pulls from attachment-based ideas and client-centered work to strengthen relationships with self and others. She also uses EMDR and mindfulness techniques when trauma or distress makes daily life harder.
These methods are used to reduce symptoms and to change how old reactions get triggered. Andrea aims to help people move through grief, addiction, mood struggles, and identity questions with clearer boundaries and more self-compassion. She pays attention to how life changes - like caregiving, career shifts, or loss - affect mood and functioning.
She supports people in rebuilding self-worth and practical coping skills. The tone in sessions is warm but straightforward. Andrea often sets goals together and offers exercises to practice between meetings.
She expects engagement and offers guidance to help people make tangible progress.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. In online sessions this approach helps people notice patterns in close relationships and try new ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience and goals, giving space for nonjudgmental listening and collaborative problem solving that suits many life changes. EMDR is used to address trauma-related memories by working with the way memories are processed; it can reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions and help people feel more in control of daily triggers.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their history, current struggles, and goals, then suggest approaches that fit those needs. Together they set priorities and adjust methods as work unfolds so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth, and messaging or chat can support ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other demands while keeping therapy consistent and focused on progress.
