About Andrea

Andrea Greenberg is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with 31 years of experience. She works with adults, many in midlife, who are facing big life changes and grappling with difficult feelings such as shame, guilt, grief, or anxiety.

She commonly helps people who have experienced trauma, neglect, or abusive relationships and who notice old patterns affecting current relationships and work. Her practice also addresses stress, depression, addictions, ADHD, caregiving strain, body image, and intimacy-related concerns.

Andrea uses a mix of practical therapeutic approaches. She draws on attachment-based methods to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. She also uses client-centered practices to focus on each person's perspective. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, appears in her work for trauma processing when appropriate.

Sessions tend to combine clear, directive feedback with space to reflect and notice patterns. She emphasizes accountability and concrete steps people can try between sessions. Mindfulness techniques and elements of the Gottman Method are part of her toolbox for managing strong emotions and improving communication.

People who come to Andrea often want focused work on specific problems rather than open-ended talk. She asks for active participation and attention to practical change. The profile notes that sessions are arranged through the platform process and that cost varies with location and a cancellable subscription.

How her approaches translate to online work

Andrea uses attachment-based work to look at patterns of relating that began in earlier relationships; online sessions can be used to notice how those patterns show up now and try new ways of responding. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and priorities, giving space for their concerns to guide each session while the therapist offers reflective listening and practical suggestions. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that processes distressing memories; when used it involves structured steps aimed at reducing the emotional charge of those memories.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past experiences with therapy, and what kinds of techniques feel tolerable. Together they choose methods and adjust them as work progresses so the plan fits the client’s needs and preferences.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people work with a therapist from their state when that matches licensing and scheduling. Practical details about scheduling and subscription-based payment are handled through the platform process.
