About Andrea

Andrea Greenberg is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Connecticut with more than three decades of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She brings a blend of practical skill and compassionate presence to work with adults navigating significant life transitions, persistent patterns rooted in past trauma, and challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, addiction, and grief. Her background includes extensive use of trauma-informed methods and body-aware practices to address how earlier wounds continue to shape current functioning and relationships.

Her approach is both direct and nurturing, pairing empathic listening with clear expectations for growth and accountability. Andrea emphasizes building greater self-compassion, stronger coping strategies, and improved communication skills so clients can move beyond repeating old patterns.

She draws from a range of evidence-based approaches including Internal Family Systems, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered methods, EMDR, and the Gottman Method to tailor work to each person’s needs. Andrea helps clients who are motivated to do the inner work and make lasting changes, meeting them where they are while supporting steps toward increased wellbeing.

How Andrea's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy



Internal Family Systems is an approach that helps clients identify and relate compassionately to the different parts of themselves, exploring inner conflicts and promoting integration so people can respond to triggers with more calm and clarity. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding patterns formed in early relationships and uses corrective therapeutic interaction to improve trust, emotional regulation, and interpersonal connection. EMDR involves structured processing of traumatic memories to reduce their emotional intensity and supports recovery from trauma and abuse when those memories continue to disrupt daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea works with clients to assess goals, life circumstances, and personal preferences, then adapts methods over time so the work feels relevant and effective. She values an honest therapeutic partnership in deciding whether methods like IFS, attachment work, or EMDR are the best fit for specific challenges.

Online options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work and family demands. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, allow for regular check-ins, and support consistent progress without requiring travel, which can be especially helpful during major life transitions or for those managing busy commitments.
