Andrea Bednarz, LCMHC

Andrea Bednarz is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who brings two decades of experience to therapeutic work. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by strong emotions, relationship strain, family conflict, parenting challenges, and the stress of life changes. Andrea speaks English and practices from New Hampshire while accepting international clients.

Her work centers on helping clients notice patterns that no longer serve them. She often addresses anxiety, chronic stress, and behaviors people use to avoid pain, such as excessive scrolling, substance use, or overworking. She also supports those facing abandonment wounds, attachment struggles, and family of origin issues.

Andrea spends time on practical skills like setting boundaries, improving communication, and managing difficult feelings. She also helps people dealing with grief that is often overlooked, including pet loss. Sessions aim to be straightforward and doable so clients can keep coming back even when change feels hard.

She has twenty years of clinical experience and has worked with mood disorders, substance misuse or dependence, boundary building, blended family concerns, and parenting dynamics. Her approach is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focused on real-world changes that fit everyday life.

Andrea encourages clients to rewrite their story and move away from avoidance and numbing. She emphasizes steady progress and making therapy an experience people can stick with through the hard parts of growth.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people change unhelpful patterns and manage strong emotions. One common approach she uses focuses on building skills for managing anxiety and stress through practical exercises and step-by-step practice. This helps people handle everyday triggers and reduce avoidance behaviors. Another frequent strand of work involves improving communication and boundary-setting, which supports clearer interactions and healthier relationship habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Andrea works together with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adapts techniques over time so the plan fits how someone prefers to work and what’s actually helping them make changes.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for quicker check-ins on challenging days. Some people find remote sessions help them stay consistent while practicing new skills in real life between meetings.
