About Andrea

Andrea Greenberg is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with 31 years of clinical experience. She works mainly with adults in midlife who are facing major life changes and seeking stronger emotional connection with themselves. Common concerns she addresses include trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and blended family issues.

Andrea uses clear, practical conversation in sessions. She looks at how early attachment patterns and past wounds affect present relationships. People who come to her often want to stop repeating old patterns and to strengthen boundaries and trust in their relationships.

Her approach draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas alongside EMDR for trauma and mindfulness for emotional regulation. Sessions include focused discussion, skills practice, and trauma processing when appropriate. Andrea asks direct questions and encourages accountability while also supporting people through difficult material.

She commonly helps with grief, parenting stress, intimacy-related concerns, addiction issues, and career-related stress. Additional topics she addresses include abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, ADHD, and body image concerns. Her work often blends practical problem solving with attention to emotional history.

Andrea expects active participation from the people she sees. She works with clients who want concrete change and quicker movement through stuck patterns. To begin, readers should use the directory's matching tools to confirm session details and schedule an initial appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Andrea uses attachment-based and client-centered methods alongside EMDR and mindfulness. Attachment-based work focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change unhelpful reactions in close relationships. Client-centered work keeps the conversation focused on the person's concerns, using reflective listening and collaborative planning to set goals. EMDR is a structured approach for processing traumatic memories and reducing their hold on daily life, often paired with mindfulness exercises to calm the nervous system.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, past treatment, and preferences and then recommend methods most likely to help. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. For trauma-focused work like EMDR, online sessions can include paced processing and safety checks adapted for remote appointments. Clarify format, length, and any practical needs during the scheduling step so sessions can be arranged to fit everyday life.
