Andrea Graziano , LPC, LMHC

Andrea Graziano is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and a Licensed Professional Counselor in the Commonwealth of Virginia - LMHC and LPC are professional licenses that indicate training and authorization to provide mental health care. She has spent more than a decade supporting individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and other life stressors, bringing experience from both outpatient and residential counseling settings as well as case management. She began her clinical journey after graduating from Medaille College in 2008 and has continued to build a practice focused on practical support and compassionate listening.

Andrea’s approach centers on following the client’s lead while offering evidence-informed tools. She frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness techniques to help clients identify patterns, shift unhelpful thoughts, and build skills for managing stress and mood. Clients can expect a warmhearted listener who encourages change and helps them define goals that matter to them.

She maintains a weekday schedule with appointment windows Monday through Thursday (Monday: 7:15am - 12:00pm, Tuesday: 8:00am - 10:00am and 3:15pm - 5:00pm, Wednesday: 8:30am - 10:30am and 2:30pm - 4:00pm, and Thursday: 9:00am - 10:30am). Because licensure is state-based, Andrea works with people who are physically present in New York or Virginia per applicable regulations. She does not participate in legal cases, so those involved in court proceedings should consider a different counselor. Andrea values the opportunity to support others and offers steady, practical guidance for clients working toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Andrea integrates Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client’s own perspective, creating a space where the individual’s values and goals guide the work and help build self-understanding and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and adjust unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy complements these approaches by teaching present-focused awareness and stress-reduction techniques that can support emotional regulation and resilience.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea works together with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time so therapy remains aligned with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how care is delivered - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to access licensed professionals from home or during their day. This flexibility can make it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and it supports a range of communication styles and scheduling needs.
