About

About Andrea

Andrea Browning is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 23 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship struggles, and codependency concerns. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment wounds, dissociation, and questions about life purpose.

Her training began in addiction treatment and expanded into work with co-occurring mental health concerns. Over two decades she has provided care in outpatient clinics and in private practice. That range means she is familiar with short-term problem solving and longer-term work on patterns that repeat across relationships.

In sessions she draws on Mindfulness practices, Trauma-Focused approaches, and Internal Family Systems to help people notice what happens inside them. She uses straightforward practices to calm the nervous system and to name parts of experience that show up in relationships and decision making. Conversations include practical skills along with reflective work about early relationships and family of origin dynamics.

Clients can expect direct discussion of patterns like people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or staying in relationships that feel one-sided. The focus is on identifying those patterns and learning concrete ways to set boundaries, feel more grounded, and recognize internal reactions.

Her work integrates body-centered awareness with talk therapy, offering breathing and mindfulness exercises alongside attention to internal parts and trauma histories. People who come for help with codependency often leave with clearer personal limits and a better sense of what they want next.

How sessions work

Using trauma-informed and parts-based work online

Andrea uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice breath, body sensations, and the flow of thoughts so they can respond differently to stress. Mindfulness practices are simple and often include short breathing or grounding exercises useful for anxiety, panic, and overwhelm.

Her Trauma-Focused Therapy work targets the effects of past abuse and traumatic events. This involves pacing, building stabilization skills, and processing difficult memories in ways that reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning. Internal Family Systems helps name and talk with the inner parts that drive people-pleasing or cling to unhealthy relationships; it supports clearer boundaries by identifying protective and vulnerable parts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which of these methods fits their needs and goals. That decision is revisited over time and adjusted as progress or new concerns appear.

Confirm current session formats before booking to know exactly how she meets online. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow a quieter check-in during a work break, or reduce travel time. The online setting can make it simpler to use mindfulness practices and short somatic exercises between meetings while keeping the focus on manageable, practical steps.
