About Andrea
Andrea Graziano is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem difficulties, bipolar challenges, and anger. Andrea asks people to check that they are physically in New York or Virginia before booking because licensing rules affect who she can see.
Andrea trained at Medaille College and began clinical work in 2008. Her background includes outpatient counseling, residential settings, and case management. Those roles gave her experience with a wide range of everyday problems and crises. She has worked across settings that require practical, day-to-day problem solving.
Her counseling style follows the client's lead. She describes herself as a listener who encourages change while asking people what matters to them. Andrea often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map how thoughts and actions influence mood. She also brings in mindfulness tools to help people notice reactions and manage strong feelings.
In sessions she focuses on concrete steps and gradual shifts rather than complicated theory. That can mean practicing a skill in session, trying a different response between visits, or reflecting on what keeps a pattern going. She does not participate in legal cases, so people involved in court or disability proceedings should consider that when choosing a counselor.
Andrea asks prospective clients to confirm location rules before scheduling and to follow the platform process to match and book a first session. She aims to help people reduce overwhelm and find clearer ways to handle anger and other stresses.
How her approaches translate to online work
Andrea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in plain, practical ways. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, actions, and mood and helps people test new ways of responding to triggers. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to notice strong feelings like anger and respond more deliberately rather than reacting on impulse.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and daily routines, and together they decide which methods to try first. That collaborative plan can be adjusted as progress is made and new needs appear.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific online options. Many people find online sessions help fit counseling into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or make it easier to meet during a work break. Andrea uses practical exercises, thought records, and mindfulness practices that translate well to remote sessions once the session format is confirmed.
