About Andrea
Andrea Browning is a licensed mental health counselor with 23 years of experience. She helps people cope with anger, stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. Her work also addresses addiction, relationship strain, and issues around self-esteem and identity.
Andrea learned clinical skills in outpatient clinics and independent practice. Early in her career she focused on addiction and co-occurring mental health concerns. Over time she shifted toward trauma work and the patterns that follow painful experiences.
Background and approach
Her approach is practical and grounded. She uses Inner-Family perspectives, trauma-focused methods, and mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and make different choices. Sessions often include breathing and grounding practices, mapping parts of the self, and talking through what feels stuck.
In therapy she invites attention to body sensations, personal history, and daily habits. That can mean learning tools to manage intense feelings, practicing new responses, or repairing old relational wounds. She emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes.
Andrea offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging as session formats. She works from New York and conducts sessions in English. Her license is LMHC in New York and she brings years of hands-on clinical experience to each session.

Therapeutic approaches for online anger and trauma work
Andrea uses mindfulness therapy to help people bring gentle attention to physical sensations, breathing, and thought patterns; this can reduce reactivity and make strong feelings easier to notice without acting on them. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to identify how past harm shapes current behavior and to develop practical strategies for managing triggers and intrusive memories. Internal Family Systems helps map different parts of a person - the protective, the wounded, and the curious - so those parts can be heard and coordinated rather than fighting each other.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, current needs, and what feels comfortable. That can mean trying mindfulness skills first, then adding trauma-focused tools or Internal Family Systems work as trust and readiness grow.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video sessions let people work face-to-face from another location, phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available, and chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines.
