About Andrea
Andrea Bednarz is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in New Hampshire with 20 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, and people coping with life changes. She also addresses issues related to abandonment, attachment, codependency, and forgiveness.
Andrea focuses on practical changes rather than jargon. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck, such as avoidance, numbing, or repeated behaviors that feel unsafe or hollow. In sessions she helps people name those patterns and try small, manageable shifts that can feel less overwhelming.
Her experience includes supporting adults with mood concerns, substance misuse or dependence, and adult children of emotionally immature parents. She also offers support around pet loss and disenfranchised grief when grief shows up in ways others may not recognize. These topics often come up alongside family of origin struggles and relationship conflict.
Sessions aim to be steady and tolerable even when the work is hard. Andrea emphasizes practical skills for boundary setting, clearer communication, and coping with everyday stress. She encourages clients to practice new responses between sessions so change builds over time.
Andrea accepts international clients and works in English. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and clearer patterns of behavior. One common approach involves behavioral work - identifying the avoidance or numbing behaviors that maintain distress and practicing small alternative responses. This helps with anxiety, mood concerns, and patterns like codependency. Another frequent focus is on attachment and family of origin work - looking at how early relationships shape current expectations and boundary struggles and trying new ways of relating that feel more manageable for day-to-day life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and the client review goals, current reactions, and what feels doable, then try approaches that fit those needs. Progress is checked regularly and methods are adjusted based on what is helpful.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them, and reduce travel time. People often find online sessions useful when they need steady weekly contact while juggling family, work, or medical appointments.
