More about Andrea

  • 15 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC, LPC

Hello! I'm Andrea, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York State and a Licensed Professional Counselor in the Commonwealth of Virginia. I have been privileged to serve individuals, couples and families who have struggled with anxiety, depression and other life stressors for over a decade. Thank you for reaching out and inviting me into your life. As a reminder, I am licensed in New York State and the Commonwealth of Virginia; therefore, if you are not physically present in New York or Virginia, I will not be able to work with you per state regulations.

I graduated from Medaille College in 2008 and began my professional journey. My experiences include outpatient and residential counseling as well as case management. It's important for you to know that I appreciate the opportunity to work with you. My goal is to encourage, support and empower you to make the best choices for your desired outcome.

It may be helpful for you to know my style of counseling is to follow your lead. I believe that no one will ever know you as well as you know yourself. The therapeutic approaches I use include Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. You will find that I am a compassionate warmhearted listener and avid cheerleader for change.

My current schedule allows for appointments Monday throughThursday and occasionally on Friday (Monday and Wednesday: 7:15am - 12:00pm AND 1:00pm-5:00pm * Tuesday and Thursday: 7:15am - 12:00pm AND 2:00pm - 5:00pm). I do not keep hours on Saturday or Sunday, as I have other professional and personal obligations.

For your reference, it may be helpful to know that I do not participate in any legal cases; therefore, you may need to consider finding a different counselor if you are involved in any court proceedings, including compensation and disability cases.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

ANDREA was so helpful for me to reach my Goals

Reviewed November 2024

Andrea has been a great support to me when I was going through a very difficult time. It’s been a good experience overall through the app and she is very responsive.

Reviewed November 2024

Andrea treats me like a unique individual and knows my history with alcohol abuse, losing parents, choosing myself over toxic relationships, navigating workplace issues….and now she’s my constant lighthouse through a cancer diagnosis and treatment. Andrea puts me in an upward spiral. I always feel better and apply her suggestions after our sessions. I honestly don’t know how I would’ve gotten through the past six months without her. We’ve tackled some big issues and she never judged my lack of judgement along the way. She makes me feel proud of myself for Little and big accomplishments in my mental health and resiliency. My sober anniversary is this week. 1 year! I couldn’t have done it without her.

Reviewed August 2024

Andrea is a great listener. I feel comfortable and confident working with her. She provides great support and perspective. She’s been very flexible and available with scheduling as my schedule changes a lot. Would highly recommend her!

Caters the conversation to your current needs. Great listener. Able to assess quickly and offer a helpful tidbit.

Reviewed June 2024

I’ve been working with Andrea for 18 months. It has not been easy, yet it has gotten easier along the way. She has worked with me to help me do the work to be angry, to grieve, to build healthy skills to heal and bring about a sense of peace. I have had my doubts at time and when I did I spoke with Andrea about it. I am glad I stuck with it through those moments of doubt and fear. Andrea has been a great resource, advocate, and cheerleader for me when I couldn’t see it in myself. It’s been my journey and my work to do all along, and having Andrea’s knowledge, support, and compassion has helped me stay the course. I am forever grateful.

I've been working with Andrea since the beginning of January and it has been wonderful. She listens to what I have to say, she encourages me, hypes me up, she's always just a message away if I need to vent. She's very understanding. I really like all of the resources she sends through out the week regarding things we've talked about in sessions. It shows me that she really does pay attention and cares for my well being. Highly recommend.

I worked with Andrea for over a year. She is an incredible listener and offers very simple and practical observations that are helpful and easy to incorporate into every day life. I felt like she gave me the space to figure things out for myself, being a sounding board and an easy person to talk to. She was supportive and encouraging. I very much enjoyed working with her and would recommend her to others, and would work with her again myself if I find I need help working through things again in the future.

Andrea is a wonderful therapist. She is a great listener but more that that we have a dialog in each session. I needed someone who wouldn't "just listen." She calls me out when I need to hear it. She has given me tools (worksheets and gratitude lists) to help identify and cope with multiple issues that I am going through. I think if I hadn't found her I would not be making progress and positive change in my life.
