About Andrea
Andrea Greenberg is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has practiced psychotherapy in Connecticut for over 31 years. She focuses on adults in midlife who are facing big changes and who want clearer emotional connection with themselves. Andrea often supports people noticing how past hurts affect current relationships, work, and self-worth.
Her style is direct and compassionate. Sessions are straightforward and warm. She asks questions that help people see patterns and take responsibility for change.
Background and approach
Andrea uses approaches that aim to heal attachment wounds and process traumatic memories. She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness methods to help people build self-awareness and calmer daily habits. EMDR is part of her toolkit when trauma memories are a central issue.
She commonly helps with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, intimacy challenges, and coping with life transitions. Andrea also addresses concerns like abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care histories, caregiver stress, body image, and work-related strain. Sessions are offered in English and take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Practical steps and doable homework are often part of the work, so progress can continue between meetings. Andrea aims to create a reliable, honest space where people feel seen and challenged to grow. She encourages self-care, steady accountability, and clear goals as part of lasting change.
How specific approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early connections shape current relationships. Online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to notice attachment patterns and build new ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, letting each session follow what matters most to the client while the therapist offers empathy and practical feedback. EMDR addresses traumatic memories through guided processing; over video or phone the therapist helps the client process distressing images and sensations with structured protocols when appropriate.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and adapt methods as they go. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize attachment work, client-centered exploration, EMDR, mindfulness practices, or a mix of approaches.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, processing between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting into daily life.
