Andrea Browning, LMHC

Andrea Browning brings 23 years of counseling experience gained in outpatient clinics and private practice, with an early focus on addiction treatment and co-occurring mental health concerns that evolved into a specialty in trauma treatment. She holds the LMHC credential (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) and integrates psychotherapeutic methods with body-centered and holistic practices to support lasting change.

Her clinical work draws from Internal Family Systems, Schema Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and EMDR, while she also incorporates mindfulness, energy medicine, tapping, and QiGong as complementary tools. This integrative stance allows Andrea to address symptoms and the underlying patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship difficulties, and trauma-related reactions.

Andrea invites exploration of the many parts of a person - bodily experience, personality states, family and community roles, and spiritual dimensions - within a supportive therapeutic space that honors individual insight and resilience. Her practice attends to issues such as abandonment and attachment wounds, codependency and dissociation, compassion fatigue, panic, and life purpose, helping clients develop practical coping strategies and deeper self-understanding.

Through a blend of evidence-informed therapies and holistic techniques, Andrea aims to nurture self-healing, strengthen coping skills, and support clients as they navigate change and recovery.

Integrative Therapeutic Approaches for Online Healing

Andrea uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people develop present-moment awareness and stress-reduction skills; this approach teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is employed to address the impact of traumatic experiences by working directly with trauma memories and their emotional and behavioral effects; this approach supports recovery from post-traumatic stress, abuse, and severe emotional distress.

Internal Family Systems is a parts-based model Andrea uses to explore different internal states and self-protective roles, helping individuals understand and integrate conflicting parts that contribute to patterns like codependency, shame, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible match.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to access consistent care from home or work. These options support scheduling convenience and ongoing connection with a licensed professional while clients work on recovery and growth.
