About Andrea
Andrea Greenberg is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with more than 31 years of experience. She focuses on adults in midlife who are navigating big life changes and want deeper emotional connection. Her style blends direct guidance with a nurturing, empathetic presence to help people make concrete shifts in their lives.
Andrea often supports people healing from past trauma, including Complex PTSD, narcissistic abuse, childhood trauma, and neglect.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how old patterns and triggers show up now in relationships, work, and self-worth. Sessions aim to identify those patterns and reduce their hold on day-to-day life. Her approach balances accountability with self-care.
Andrea encourages practical steps - new habits, clearer boundaries, and focused self-compassion - that back lasting change. She frames growth as work the client does, with steady professional support along the way. Therapeutic methods Andrea uses include mindfulness, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), attachment-based ideas, and client-centered listening.
These are applied in ways that match each person's needs and pace. Clients can expect a mix of reflection, skills practice, and review of progress. Sessions are appropriate for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting concerns, relationship wounds, or career transitions.
Andrea meets each person where they are and helps them move toward clearer choices and greater emotional resilience.

How Andrea’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice and change recurring dynamics that cause distress. It can be useful for people who want firmer boundaries and healthier emotional connection.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and pace. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is shared, and helps clients find their own solutions rather than imposing steps. This approach supports self-esteem, decision-making, and emotional clarity.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process troubling memories and reduce their emotional intensity. In online sessions it involves guided bilateral stimulation along with talking through memory material, which can help when past events keep affecting present life.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels tolerable, and then adapt methods over time. They work together to find what helps most, shifting course when needed.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for in-depth sessions and guided EMDR work. Phone sessions offer a lower-bandwidth option when video is difficult. Live chat and messaging can be used for brief check-ins, skill practice, or between-session support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
