About Andrea

Andrea Russo is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and depression. She also supports people coping with major life changes, grief, and questions about intimacy and self-esteem. Andrea works in Florida and brings ten years of professional experience to her practice.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk openly about what matters to them. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than jargon. Andrea encourages small, manageable changes that add up over time.

Her approach mixes listening with tools drawn from several therapeutic styles. She uses techniques that help people notice patterns in their thinking and behavior. She also emphasizes awareness and meaning so clients can connect choices with their values.

Andrea aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward. She helps people set realistic goals, try out new skills between sessions, and adjust plans when needed. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort.

Clients often come for help with career stress, questions around sexual identity and relationships, attention challenges such as ADHD, or the strain of life transitions. Andrea’s style is direct, warm, and practical, focused on helping people regain a sense of control and direction.

Approaches and how online work can fit your life

Andrea blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people address stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding each person's goals, giving space for concerns to be named and explored. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying out small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life feels hectic. They can also make it simpler to practice skills in everyday settings and to maintain continuity when routines change. If you have questions about how sessions will be scheduled or what to expect, mention them when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first appointment.
