About Armando
Armando Severino offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or big life changes. He greets clients with a calm, practical style and helps them find clear steps forward. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Armando holds a Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential - LMHC - in New York and brings eight years of experience to his practice. He focuses on helping people build on their strengths to meet daily challenges.
How Armando works
That can mean learning new coping habits for anxiety, sorting through patterns that lead to addiction, or working through trauma and grief at a pace that fits the individual. He also helps with parenting strain, intimacy-related concerns, and issues tied to adoption or foster care. Armando uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behavior.
He pairs that with Client-Centered work that keeps the client's goals central, and Motivational Interviewing to boost readiness for change. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted to what each person needs. People can expect direct conversation, goal setting, and small, doable steps between meetings.
He pays attention to relationship dynamics that affect everyday life, including codependency and control issues. The aim is to strengthen self-esteem and reduce isolation. Armando has experience addressing post-traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, and fatherhood issues among other concerns.
He emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes. If someone wants help naming problems and making a plan, he offers an approachable, no-nonsense way forward.

Online support options
Practical approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people live in line with their values while managing painful thoughts and feelings. It aims to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action when life feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; it helps people spot unhelpful thinking and practice different responses to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, collaborative approach that strengthens a person's own motivation to change and supports readiness for steps like reducing substance use or starting healthier habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so techniques are useful and realistic for daily life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are good for full discussion and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or quieter check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to maintain steady care, manage appointments around responsibilities, and choose the format that feels most comfortable.
