About Andrea
Andrea Bednarz is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in New Hampshire with 20 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting questions, and coping with life changes. She also lists family of origin issues among her focus areas.
Andrea helps people who notice patterns from their past affecting current relationships and choices. She talks through how roles, expectations, and communication in the family you grew up in still show up now. Sessions look at concrete habits and reactions rather than labels alone.
Her background includes long experience supporting people with abandonment and attachment issues, blended family concerns, and the strains of caregiving or aging. She also addresses chronic illness or pain, eating and food-related issues, codependency, commitment worries, and divorce or separation. Pet loss and disenfranchised grief are mentioned as areas she attends to.
In practical work she focuses on boundary development, reducing avoidance, and changing behaviors that keep someone stuck. Conversations include managing urges to numb with substances or behaviors and finding steadier ways to cope. She aims to make therapy manageable so clients can continue through difficult but useful sessions.
Andrea offers care in English and accepts international clients. Prospective clients who want to begin are asked to use the site's matching and scheduling flow to choose an initial session and complete a short questionnaire before the first appointment.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Andrea describes using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behavior and relationship patterns. One common approach is behavior-focused work that looks at habits people use to cope, such as numbing or avoidance, and replaces them with steadier coping strategies. This helps with anxiety, substance-related patterns, and everyday stressors.An attachment-informed approach is often used when family roles and early relationships still shape current connections. This kind of work examines how expectations and patterns from the family of origin affect boundaries, communication, and closeness in adult relationships.
Choosing the most useful approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help figure out which techniques fit a client's goals and preferences, and will adjust methods as needs change. Clients and therapist plan the work together rather than relying on a single method from the start.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also let someone avoid being on camera when that helps, or choose phone contact when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals tailor how they meet to fit everyday routines rather than require major schedule changes.
