About Andria
Andria Connell is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage strong emotions and stressful life moments. She focuses on practical tools that reduce anger, anxiety, and overwhelming stress so clients can feel more in control day to day. She uses straightforward strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Mindfulness skills are introduced to calm the body and steady attention. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques help people set short-term goals and build momentum.
Background and approach
Connell earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Trauma and Crises and holds a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential. She has six years of clinical experience and several years working specifically with first responders, which informs her approach to intense stress and trauma-related reactions.
In sessions she aims to create a space for clear problem solving and skill building. Typical work includes identifying triggers, practicing coping skills, and setting achievable behavior goals. She also helps people facing life changes, workplace strain, parenting challenges, and relationship or communication problems.
Andria offers online care by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can fit sessions into their schedules. She frames therapy as collaborative and practical, helping clients try small changes, review what works, and adjust plans as needed.

Approaches and online options for skill-based change
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client brings. It helps people feel heard and guides them to find their own solutions and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and introduces practical exercises to change patterns that feed anxiety, anger, or depression.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques that match those goals, and adjust methods as progress is reviewed. Work often combines listening, skill practice, and short-term goal setting so clients notice small changes quickly.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and skill demonstration. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, homework review, or a focused conversation between longer sessions. These formats help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
