About Andrea
Andrea Browning is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger, relationship struggles, addictions, and issues around self-esteem and identity. Andrea also addresses complex concerns such as bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and panic attacks.
Her early work began in addiction treatment and co-occurring mental health care in outpatient clinics. Over time she moved into private practice and focused more on trauma-related work. That history shapes how she approaches difficult emotional moments now.
In sessions Andrea uses mindfulness practices alongside trauma-focused approaches to help people notice patterns in the body and mind. She also draws from Internal Family Systems work to help clients identify the parts of themselves that drive strong emotions. The work often mixes short exercises with reflective conversation.
Clients can expect straightforward, practical steps to manage intense feelings and to reduce repeated reactions that cause regret. Andrea helps people recognize triggers, practice grounding and breathing techniques, and develop alternate ways of responding when anger or panic rises. She also supports exploration of family of origin issues, attachment and codependency when those themes come up.
Her approach is direct and experience-based. Andrea invites people to try skills in daily life, then bring back what worked and what did not. This makes sessions focused on usable changes rather than abstract discussion.
Approaches used online and how they help
Andrea uses mindfulness practices to help people notice how anger and stress show up in the body and the moment-to-moment thoughts that feed them. Mindfulness work here is short and practical, often focusing on breath, sensing, and brief grounding skills that can be practiced between sessions.She also applies Trauma-Focused Therapy to look at how past hurt keeps replaying as current reactivity. That approach helps people reduce overwhelm, process difficult memories, and build safer ways to respond when triggers arise. Internal Family Systems work is used to identify the inner parts that push for anger, shame, or withdrawal, and to develop kinder internal dialogue toward those parts.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Andrea treats the choice as collaborative: she will talk with the client about goals, try a method, and adjust based on what helps. That keeps sessions practical and focused on what the person wants to change.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a day, allow quick check-ins between appointments, or use shorter exercises when time is tight. These practical benefits help people try skills in real life and bring back results for discussion.
