About Andrea
Andrea Browning is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger, relationship concerns, addictions, and related challenges. Andrea also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, and compassion fatigue.
Andrea began her career in outpatient addiction treatment and later moved into private practice. Over time she concentrated on trauma work and the patterns that follow it. She draws on a range of methods so sessions can address emotional reactions, bodily responses, and repetitive relationship patterns.
In sessions she uses Internal Family Systems to help people notice different inner parts and how they influence behavior. She integrates Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the impact of past harm on present life. Mindfulness practices are used to anchor attention and reduce escalation when anger or anxiety rises.
Her approach blends talk work with simple somatic and reflective exercises. Clients can expect direct guidance, moment-to-moment noticing of what is happening, and practical strategies to reduce reactivity. Andrea also helps people untangle guilt, shame, and self-criticism that often underlie persistent anger.
People seek her help to manage panic attacks, bipolar mood swings, grief, and to rebuild trust after trauma. She offers steady, straightforward clinical work aimed at helping people change patterns that make life harder.
How sessions work
How Andrea's approaches translate to online work
Andrea often draws on Internal Family Systems to help people identify and speak with different inner parts. This approach helps with self-criticism, anger, and conflicting impulses by creating a clearer relationship among those parts. Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work focuses on understanding how past experiences shape current reactions and on reducing the hold those memories have on daily life.She also uses mindfulness practices to build steady attention and reduce moments of overwhelm. Mindfulness teaches simple breathing and noticing exercises that can interrupt the cycle of escalation. Choosing the right blend of these approaches is a collaborative process; Andrea will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust the approach as work unfolds.
