About Andrea
Andrea Russo is a licensed counselor practicing in Florida who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, and challenges around major life transitions.
Background and approach
With a decade of clinical experience and credentials as an LMHC and LPC, she helps people navigating grief, intimacy concerns, self-esteem questions, career stress, ADHD, and LGBT and family-related issues. Her work emphasizes practical strategies alongside attention to personal meaning and values.
Andrea blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and existential perspectives to tailor support to each person's situation. She encourages clear collaboration, inviting clients to explore thoughts, feelings, and goals while developing skills for coping and problem solving.
Motivational interviewing and mindfulness tools also appear in her practice to foster engagement and present-moment awareness during change. Clients who choose Andrea can expect an approach that balances skill-building with compassionate listening.
She frames therapy as a joint process and offers a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to articulate what matters to them and work toward more workable patterns in daily life.
Approach and Access: Therapy Methods Offered Online
Andrea often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT emphasizes practical exercises and behavioral experiments that can be practiced between sessions and adapted to daily life.She also draws from Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes empathic listening and a supportive therapeutic relationship so people feel heard while exploring goals and values. This approach is helpful when clients need space to process emotions and build self-understanding.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time to find the best fit.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend regularly, practice techniques in real-world settings, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances make in-person meetings difficult.
