Armando Severino, LMHC

Armando Severino is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with eight years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue and related challenges. He offers sessions in English and Spanish and draws on several evidence-based approaches.

Armando uses straightforward, skills-based work to help people who consistently put others first or feel stuck in strained relationships. Sessions focus on practical ways to notice unhelpful patterns, set clearer limits, and recover a sense of self. He helps people who struggle with codependency, control issues, isolation, and the fallout from domestic violence or complicated caregiving roles.

He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Motivational Interviewing to match the moment and the person. That means identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck, practicing small behavioral changes, and clarifying values to guide choices.

Armando prefers a client-centered stance. He pays attention to each person’s strengths and uses them to build momentum. Sessions often include goal setting, practical skills practice, and short exercises to try between meetings.

People can expect direct, stepwise work rather than long explanations. Armando’s background includes years working with depression, substance issues, trauma and grief. He aims to help people make clear changes they can carry into daily life.
