About Andrea
Andrea Greenberg is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with 31 years of experience. She works primarily with adults who are navigating major life transitions and who notice old family patterns or relationship habits continue to affect their lives. Andrea helps people struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, caregiving stress, and identity concerns related to LGBT issues and parenting.
She frames therapy in clear, direct language and focuses on practical change. Sessions often involve looking at how early family roles and attachment patterns show up now. Andrea uses a mix of approaches from attachment-based and client-centered work to EMDR and mindfulness, choosing what fits the person's goals.
Andrea often supports people coping with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, and attachment concerns. She also addresses eating and body image issues, career stress, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Conversations include relationship communication, intimacy-related issues, and recovering from past hurt without assigning blame.
In sessions she balances challenge and support. She encourages accountability, self-care, and practical steps that can be tried between meetings. Therapy is collaborative - clients and Andrea decide which methods to try and when to adjust course.
Her work is aimed at adults who want to understand how family of origin patterns influence current choices. People who prefer straightforward feedback and clear strategies tend to find her approach helpful.
How Andrea’s approaches translate to online work
Andrea uses attachment-based and client-centered approaches alongside EMDR and mindfulness tools. Attachment-based work looks at patterns of closeness and distance that started in family life and how they play out now; it helps with relationship problems and feeling stuck. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can name goals and values; it helps people clarify what they want to change. EMDR involves guided attention and memory work aimed at reducing the intensity of difficult memories and reactions, which can support trauma-related symptoms and strong emotional triggers.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andrea will work collaboratively to identify which methods match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That assessment can change over time as work progresses, and adjustments are made together.
The original biography does not list specific session formats for online work, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel. Therapists and licensed professionals generally adapt techniques like EMDR and mindfulness for virtual sessions when appropriate, and Andrea will discuss practical arrangements and what to expect when you schedule the first appointment.
