About Andrea
Andrea Aurino is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, family concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse.
Andrea focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier. She helps people talk through relationship patterns, set clearer boundaries, and reduce overwhelming worry. Her approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy as ways to change thinking, retell difficult stories, and find small workable solutions.
Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Andrea listens for patterns that keep someone stuck, then tests simple techniques to shift those patterns. She uses methods that encourage new habits and clearer communication rather than long theory explanations.
She has particular experience with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family stress, caregiver strain, and codependency. Andrea also works with people dealing with divorce, domestic violence aftermath, emptiness, and family-of-origin problems.
Clients with workplace stress, first responder concerns, or aging and geriatric questions can also bring those struggles into sessions. Her long practice has involved helping people manage transitions and practical problems as much as emotional healing.
Andrea conducts work in English and practices in Michigan. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How Andrea uses CBT, Narrative, and Solution-Focused work online
Andrea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching practical skills for daily situations. Narrative Therapy is about separating a person from their problems and retelling the story in a more useful way; it helps when old labels or patterns feel stuck. Solution-Focused Therapy targets small, concrete changes and next steps, which can be useful when someone wants quick, practical adjustments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will discuss options and decide together which methods match a client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process can shift over time as needs change and new issues come up.
Confirm current session formats before booking because the original biography did not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every session. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy fit day-to-day routines rather than demanding large schedule changes.
