About Andria
Andria Connell helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, and life changes. She meets people where they are and focuses on realistic steps that can reduce distress. Andria uses straightforward tools to change how people think and act, and she supports people as they build healthier routines.
She is a New York licensed mental health counselor and has six years of clinical experience. Andria draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a listening space where a person’s goals shape the work.
How Andria works
She combines that with cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try out new behavior. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused strategies are used to notice patterns and set small, achievable goals. Her background includes working with trauma and crises and several years supporting first responders while in the field.
That work informs how she approaches panic, post-traumatic stress, and emotional dysregulation. She also addresses concerns like anger, addictions, low self-esteem, and relationship and parenting stress. Sessions tend to focus on practical skills - breathing and grounding, thought reframing, and short behavior changes to test what works.
Andria offers plain explanations and step-by-step plans people can use between sessions. The emphasis is on manageable progress rather than quick fixes. People who reach out can expect a collaborative style.
She helps identify priorities, practices tools together, and adjusts plans as needs change. Therapy is presented as a process that unfolds at each person’s pace.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Andria uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s goals and experiences, creating a collaborative space where the client’s concerns guide the work. This approach is useful for building trust and clarifying what change would look like for someone.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT often helps with anxiety, panic, depression, and patterns that keep people stuck by turning ideas into small behavior experiments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andria will work with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what proves most helpful in practice.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing, brief communication between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules and to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
