About Andrea

Andrea Corson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family challenges, mood disorders, grief, trauma, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 29 years of experience in behavioral health, she has helped clients address a wide range of concerns including parenting difficulties, self-esteem struggles, anger, bipolar and depressive symptoms, ADHD, and practical matters such as career and financial stress. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered, solution-focused, and mindfulness-informed interventions.

Andrea emphasizes collaboration and strength-based work, helping clients identify goals and develop concrete strategies to reach them. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change in areas like substance use and smoking cessation.

In sessions she can offer direction, education, or coaching as fits the client's needs while respecting each person's expertise about their own life. Andrea welcomes people who are ready to explore change and values creating a respectful, goal-oriented therapy process.

She accepts international clients and conducts sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible options to fit different schedules and preferences.

Approaches and Online Practice



Andrea uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. She also draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client's perspective guides the goals and pace of work. Mindfulness therapy is incorporated to teach present-focused awareness and stress-reduction strategies that can complement cognitive and behavioral work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. Andrea works with clients to clarify their priorities, experiments with techniques that match those goals, and adjusts methods over time so the plan fits each person's needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing practical flexibility for scheduling and access. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes, travel, or busy routines while allowing the therapist and client to focus on skill-building, problem solving, and goal attainment in ways that suit the client's lifestyle.
