About Andrea

Andrea Greenberg is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with 31 years of experience. She focuses on adults in midlife who are facing big life changes and who want a stronger emotional connection to themselves. Andrea often helps people who are noticing old trauma patterns affecting their relationships, work, and sense of self.

Her approach is direct and caring. She makes space for honest talk while encouraging responsibility and practical steps. Andrea emphasizes self-care, self-compassion, and steady action as part of long-term change.

Andrea uses several therapy approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present behavior. She also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and client-centered techniques to address trauma, anxiety, and depression.

Sessions aim to move beyond surface conversation toward meaningful shifts. Andrea combines clinical experience with life wisdom to guide people toward clearer patterns and healthier choices. She meets clients where they are and helps them take concrete steps toward change.

Her work includes support for concerns such as grief, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, addictions, ADHD, relationship and intimacy problems, and career stress. Someone considering therapy with Andrea can expect straightforward feedback, practical strategies, and encouragement to build long-term habits that support well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Andrea commonly uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This approach helps people notice repeated behaviors in relationships and learn new ways of connecting. She also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, to address traumatic memories and their emotional impact in focused sessions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may involve trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time and allowing appointments during a lunch break or between errands. It can also offer options like shorter check-ins when time or bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt the chosen approaches so the work remains practical and goal-oriented, whether the focus is trauma recovery, anxiety reduction, or coping with aging and caregiving challenges.
