About Andrea
Andrea Browning is a licensed mental health counselor with 23 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and addiction concerns. She also supports issues such as panic disorder and panic attacks, low self-esteem, and relationship strain.
Her work is straightforward and practical. Andrea invites people to notice how their body and thoughts respond to stress. She uses mindfulness exercises and guided reflection to help people calm intense moments and find steadier footing in daily life.
Over two decades Andrea has worked in outpatient clinics and private practice. Early work focused on addiction and co-occurring mental health concerns. That experience shaped a trauma-informed approach that centers safety and pacing.
She draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems alongside mindfulness practices. In sessions she often blends gentle attention to body sensation with talking and mapping different inner parts or patterns. The aim is to help people recognize triggers and try new responses.
Andrea keeps language direct and accessible. She encourages small, doable steps between sessions, like short mindfulness practices or skills for managing panic moments. The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How Andrea’s approaches translate to online care
Andrea uses mindfulness practices to help people notice physical sensations, breath, and thought patterns. Mindfulness exercises are short and practical, often aimed at calming anxiety or interrupting panic moments.Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work means paying attention to pacing, grounding, and safety while processing difficult memories. This approach supports people who have experienced trauma by breaking work into manageable steps and using techniques that reduce overwhelm.
Internal Family Systems helps people map different inner parts or roles, such as an anxious part or a critical part, and learn kinder ways to relate to them. This method is useful for understanding why certain patterns repeat and for trying new internal responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andrea works collaboratively to choose methods that fit each person's needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts pacing and techniques based on what the person prefers and how they respond in sessions.
