Andrea Corson , LCSW

Andrea Corson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from Hunter College School of Social Work in New York City and more than 29 years of experience in behavioral health. She draws on extensive work with individuals and families across a range of concerns, including addiction, depression and stress, anxiety, anger, trauma and abuse, relationship and parenting challenges, separation and divorce, guilt and shame, and other life changes. Her clinical background includes both individual and family-focused care in a variety of settings, which informs a practical and flexible style of support.

As an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - she uses a solution-focused, client-centered, collaborative and strength-based approach. Andrea treats each person as the expert on their own life and partners with them to set meaningful goals. Depending on a client’s needs she can provide direction, assistance, education, or reflective guidance while encouraging personal agency and resilience.

Andrea recognizes how difficult it can be to take the first step toward seeking help and aims to make the therapeutic experience comfortable and purposeful. She welcomes conversations about where someone is now and where they want to be, and would be honored to support clients through that process. If a client is in crisis or needs immediate help, she advises calling 1-800-273-TALK or 911; this forum does not provide emergency services.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Andrea Corson

Andrea Corson integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s priorities guide the work and personal strengths are emphasized. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured techniques and practical strategies, useful for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-regulation skills that can reduce reactivity and support coping with stress, grief, or trauma.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will work with each person to assess goals, preferences, and needs, and may combine elements from different approaches to tailor a plan that fits the individual. The emphasis is on partnership, clear goals, and techniques that feel useful in everyday life.

Online therapy with Andrea is delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, travel, or distance. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access therapists and licensed professionals from different locations while fitting sessions into a client’s routine.
