About Andrea
Andrea Greenberg is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut with 31 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping adults in midlife who are facing big transitions and seeking more emotional connection with themselves.
Background and approach
Andrea works directly and warmly, aiming to create a space where people feel seen and encouraged to take steps toward change. Many people come to her after experiences like complex trauma, narcissistic abuse, or early neglect and notice those patterns affecting relationships, work, and self-worth.
She helps clients identify how long-standing triggers show up now and offers practical ways to interrupt those patterns. Sessions combine support with clear expectations about the work involved.
Her approach draws on several therapy methods, including Gottman Method, Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered techniques, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness. Andrea uses those tools to address issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, intimacy concerns, ADHD, and caregiver stress.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process rather than a lecture. Andrea emphasizes self-care, self-compassion, and accountability as steps toward lasting change.
She meets people where they are and helps them set manageable goals for healing. The pace and focus are shaped by each person’s needs and readiness.
Her style is straightforward yet compassionate, blending clinical experience with practical coaching. People who want focused work and honest feedback may find her approach a good fit.
Therapy methods and online sessions that fit your life
Andrea uses Gottman Method ideas to look at relationship dynamics and communication patterns, helping people notice interaction cycles and learn concrete skills to change them. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to understand how early bonds influence current feelings and reactions, which can help when patterns from the past shape present relationships.She views finding the right approach as a team effort. The therapist and client talk about goals, try methods that seem useful, and adjust as needed based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes room for practical strategies and emotional healing together.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy days. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, live chat can support shorter exchanges, and messaging lets people share thoughts between appointments. These options aim to increase flexibility and make regular work on goals more manageable.
