About Andrea
Andrea Graziano is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family strain, grief, anger, and bipolar-related concerns. Andrea asks clients to confirm they are located in New York or Virginia before booking.
She trained at Medaille College and began clinical work in 2008. Her background includes outpatient and residential counseling and case management roles. Those settings shaped the practical, skills-based focus she brings to sessions.
Andrea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also incorporates Mindfulness and a client-centered stance, listening first and following the client’s lead. Sessions emphasize concrete steps, practice between meetings, and short exercises to test new habits.
She does not participate in legal cases, including compensation or disability proceedings, so clients involved in those matters should consider other options. Andrea’s schedule is set during weekdays, and she does not work weekends. Prospective clients should confirm location requirements and session formats before booking.
Her approach aims for clear, practical work on day-to-day problems. Conversations focus on what is happening now, what patterns keep problems going, and what small changes might reduce distress. The therapist and client work together to decide which techniques to try next.
How Andrea uses CBT, mindfulness, and person-centered work online
Andrea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down situations into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means identifying specific thoughts that make stress worse and trying alternative responses in real life. This approach is often used for anxiety, low mood, and patterns that keep problems going.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple awareness and grounding exercises. These practices help reduce reactivity and make it easier to notice choices in the moment. Her client-centered stance means sessions start with listening; she then suggests methods to try and adjusts them based on the client’s feedback.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose between CBT tools, mindfulness exercises, or more open discussion depending on goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed over the first few sessions and can change as needs shift.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday routine, shorten travel time, and allow focused check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. Many clients find practicing CBT exercises between sessions fits better when meetings are scheduled around daily life.
