About Andrea
Andrea Graziano is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia. She brings 15 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and mood concerns. Andrea aims to listen with kindness and help clients move toward clearer choices.
Andrea’s practice emphasizes a client-centered approach. She follows the person’s lead and treats them as the expert on their own life.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps, clear goals, and steady support rather than jargon or long lectures. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact, and Mindfulness Therapy, which brings attention to the present moment. Those methods are used to reduce unhelpful thinking, manage strong emotions, and build skills for daily life.
Her background includes work in outpatient and residential counseling and case management. That range of settings has shaped a straightforward style that values encouragement and realistic plans for change. Andrea practices from New York and holds licensure in both New York State and the Commonwealth of Virginia.
She does not work with people who are physically located outside those states due to state regulations. She welcomes conversations about goals, practical steps, and what therapy might look like for each person.
How Andrea’s approach translates to online therapy
Andrea uses client-centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness practices that adapt well to remote care. Client-centered therapy means sessions follow the client’s priorities and pace, which helps guide each conversation and set realistic steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms and improve daily routines. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention exercises and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of the present moment.Deciding on the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will help explore goals, trial different techniques, and adjust the plan based on how a client responds. Together the client and therapist check what feels useful and make changes so therapy fits the person’s needs and preferences.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in works better. Live chat and text messaging provide ongoing support between sessions or a flexible way to communicate for brief updates and reflections.
