About Armando
Armando Severino is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and struggles with substance use. He speaks English and Spanish and brings eight years of counseling experience to each session. He focuses on practical steps that clients can use right away to feel steadier in daily life.
Armando uses a straightforward, flexible approach that adapts to each person’s needs. He begins by listening closely to what matters most and what goals feel realistic.
Background and approach
From there he draws on methods that match the situation, helping clients build strengths and small habits that add up over time. Sessions often include learning simple skills to manage anxiety, working through painful memories at a comfortable pace, and addressing patterns that keep people stuck.
He also supports people dealing with parenting stress, caregiver strain, adoption or foster care concerns, and issues tied to self-esteem and men’s experiences. Motivational techniques are used when someone wants to change behaviors like substance use or codependent patterns. Cognitive strategies help reframe unhelpful thinking and strengthen coping during life changes.
Client-centered work keeps the conversation focused on the person’s values and priorities. Armando practices in New York as an LMHC and aims to make therapy clear and down-to-earth. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication needs.
How Armando’s Approaches Work Online
Armando draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps even when feelings are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and practicing new skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful reactions.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about current problems, goals, and preferences and then suggest approaches that fit. Together they adjust the plan over time so techniques match what is actually helping in day-to-day life.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make getting help more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skill teaching and deeper dialogue. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or writing through thoughts between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
