About Andrea
Andrea Browning is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 23 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, and related difficulties that often link back to early family patterns.
Her work grew out of years in outpatient clinics and private practice, beginning with addiction treatment and co-occurring mental health concerns. Over time she focused more on trauma and on how early family roles and attachment shape adult behavior and relationships. Andrea uses straightforward, skills-based work alongside methods that attend to inner parts and mindful awareness.
Sessions typically include slowing down to notice thoughts and body sensations, then using targeted techniques to reduce panic, manage strong emotions, and rebuild steadier day-to-day coping. She draws on Internal Family Systems to identify conflicted inner parts and on trauma-focused methods to address reactions tied to past events. Mindfulness techniques are used to strengthen present-moment noticing and stress management.
Andrea often helps people untangle patterns like abandonment fears, codependency, dissociation, and family of origin issues that keep repeating in adult life. She also works with concerns such as guilt and shame, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
Her approach balances direct skills training with reflective work on internal parts and memories. Practical tools are paired with careful pacing so people can apply new skills between sessions and notice measurable changes in how they respond to old family patterns.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Andrea uses Mindfulness Therapy to build simple moment-to-moment skills for noticing thoughts and bodily reactions. Mindfulness can help reduce panic, manage anxiety, and make it easier to try new responses when old patterns appear.Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to address reactions tied to past events in a paced way. This work aims to reduce the intensity of strong emotional responses and improve daily functioning when trauma memories or triggers arise.
Internal Family Systems helps identify and talk with different inner parts that hold fears, protectors, or pain. This approach can clarify why family of origin patterns keep repeating and give practical ways to change those habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and comfort level. Clients and the therapist review progress and adjust methods as needed so the work stays useful.
The practical benefits of meeting remotely include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Session format details should be confirmed before booking, as the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to maintain regular appointments and apply new skills between meetings.
