About Andrea
Andrea Greenberg is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with more than 31 years of experience. She works primarily with adults in midlife who are facing major life changes and looking for deeper emotional connection and stability. Andrea often sees people who are healing from trauma and who want clearer patterns and healthier relationships.
Her approach is both direct and compassionate. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space while encouraging clients to take responsibility for their own growth. Andrea emphasizes practical steps like self-care, boundary-setting, and consistent habits that support long-term change.
Andrea blends several therapy methods to match each person’s needs. She draws on attachment-based work to look at relationship patterns and on mindfulness to build moment-to-moment awareness. She also uses EMDR when trauma memories need focused processing and the Gottman Method for relationship communication work.
Sessions are results-oriented but paced to the client’s readiness. Andrea aims for meaningful breakthroughs rather than prolonged surface talk. She asks clients to engage actively between sessions so new patterns can form in daily life.
Clients describe her style as warm, firm, and experienced. She meets people where they are and partners with them to uncover what keeps them stuck. Those ready to look at roots of codependency, abandonment, or attachment wounds may find this approach useful.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect present-day connection. It focuses on patterns of closeness, trust, and how people react when they feel threatened in relationships. This helps when attachment wounds, abandonment, or codependency show up in adult life.EMDR is a focused method for working through traumatic memories that continue to cause distress. It uses structured processing to reduce the charge of painful memories and can be helpful for people who carry old trauma into current relationships and moods.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, history, and preferences, and then recommend methods that fit. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, reduce the need to travel, and make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment work, mindfulness practices, and EMDR-informed processing to remote settings, while tailoring exercises to everyday life and routines.
