About Andrea
Andrea Bednarz is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in New Hampshire with 20 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting, and coping with life changes. She also addresses issues like codependency, abandonment, attachment struggles, and the impact of chronic illness on daily life.
Andrea helps people who numb, people-please, or feel stuck repeating the same relationship patterns. She talks about behaviors such as excessive scrolling, gaming, shopping, or substance use as ways people try to get through the day. Sessions aim to reduce avoidance and replace short-term coping with clearer choices that match a person's values.
Her work includes support for people dealing with family estrangement, blended family pressures, and the complications that come with divorce or separation. She also sits with grief that gets overlooked, like the loss of a pet, and helps people name what they are facing so they can grieve it without judgment.
Practical boundary work and skills for healthier communication are central to her approach. She supports parents who are worn down by caregiving and helps them find more consistent limits that feel doable. Andrea also addresses problems rooted in family of origin and childhood dynamics that keep showing up in adulthood.
Sessions are intended to be demanding but manageable, with an emphasis on making therapy something people can continue through hard moments. To begin, visitors are asked to use the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Evidence-based techniques for codependency and relationship patterns
Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on changing unhelpful patterns and building practical skills. One approach emphasizes boundary development and communication skills to help people stop overextending themselves and say no more clearly. This work is about concrete actions you can try between sessions and evaluating what works in real life.Another approach addresses attachment and family of origin dynamics. It looks at how early relationship patterns show up now and how to make different choices in current relationships. That can help with feelings of emptiness, fear of abandonment, or repeating the same commitments that don't fit.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will help you identify which techniques suit your goals and will adjust as you progress. You and the therapist decide collaboratively what to focus on and when to try new strategies.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they fit into busy days, cut travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Others prefer a shorter check-in when time is tight or an extended session for deeper work; discuss what fits your schedule when you arrange the first meeting.
