Andreina Bello, LMHC

Andreina Bello is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who graduated from Troy University and offers 11 years of clinical experience working across Florida. She has served diverse populations in settings that include outreach to the homeless community in Central Florida, in-home therapy, school environments, and traditional office-based practice.

She provides individual, family, and couples counseling, addressing a wide range of concerns such as depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and panic attacks, and behavioral challenges. Her background also includes work with substance abuse, dual diagnoses, life-stage transitions, adjustment difficulties, abuse and trauma, low self-esteem, relational struggles, social skills development, attention and concentration challenges, and parenting issues.

Her therapeutic toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a client-centered approach, solution-focused techniques, and family systems work, each chosen and tailored to fit an individual’s needs. She aims to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental atmosphere in every session to encourage openness and growth.

Andreina believes that people have the capacity to reach their full potential when given practical tools and supportive guidance. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process to empower clients toward meaningful change and stands ready to support those who are prepared to begin that work.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Andreina draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work - this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help people explore personal growth and self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and to teach practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, mood shifts, and unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps individuals and couples understand and reshuffle emotional responses to strengthen relationships and address attachment-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andreina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure the plan feels useful and achievable for the client.

Online therapy offers flexible options for engaging in this work - video calls that approximate in-person sessions, phone sessions for convenience, live chat for real-time written conversation, and text-based messaging for ongoing check-ins and support. These formats increase accessibility and allow therapy to fit into varied schedules while maintaining continuity with licensed professionals and therapists.
