Andrea Browning

Andrea Browning is a licensed mental health counselor with 23 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, addiction, relationship strain, anger, and struggles with self-esteem. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people manage day-to-day difficulties and feel more steady. Andrea began her work in addiction treatment and outpatient clinics before moving into private practice. Over two decades she has focused more deeply on trauma and related concerns. She draws from Internal Family Systems and trauma-focused practices while using mindfulness and body-aware methods to help people reconnect with themselves. Sessions typically include straightforward skills people can use between meetings. Andrea invites clients to notice thoughts, emotions, and bodily responses and to practice new ways of responding. Therapy may include paced attention to painful memories, understanding internal parts, and simple mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity. She pays attention to how early attachment and family of origin experiences shape present behavior. Issues like abandonment, codependency, dissociation, and guilt are explored in ways that link past patterns to current choices. Andrea also supports work on life purpose, forgiveness, and developing more self-love. Located in New York, Andrea brings a mix of clinical methods and holistic practices to sessions. Her style is supportive and curiosity-driven, focused on helping each person build tools that fit their life and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Mindfulness Therapy helps people build awareness of thoughts, breath, and body sensations. It uses short, simple practices to reduce reactivity and manage anxiety or anger in everyday moments.

Trauma-Focused Therapy supports paced work with difficult memories and the reactions they trigger. It aims to help people process traumatic events gradually and learn safer ways to respond to triggers.

Internal Family Systems looks at inner parts or subpersonalities and how they interact. This approach helps people understand why they react in certain ways and develop more self-led choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andrea will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She often blends mindfulness, trauma-focused techniques, and internal parts work in ways that fit the individual.

Confirm available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people practice mindfulness or grounding exercises in the contexts where they live and cope, helping skills transfer into daily life.
