Andrea Russo

Andrea Russo is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and career questions. She also supports people facing grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD challenges, and major life changes. Andrea speaks English and practices in Florida as an LMHC and LPC. Andrea focuses on building a calm, nonjudgmental space. She encourages people to say what they need to and to try small, practical steps between sessions. Conversations tend to be straightforward and collaborative so goals can be clear and manageable. She uses a mix of approaches to fit each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with workable choices. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience at the center of the work. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are woven in to help manage strong feelings and support change. Andrea has about 10 years of experience working in clinical settings. That background shaped her practical style and patience with people going through transitions. She aims to make starting therapy feel less overwhelming by breaking the process into simple, actionable steps. If someone wants to begin, Andrea asks them to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a session. The goal is steady progress toward personal and career-related goals, taken at a pace that fits each person.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the person’s lead. It helps when someone needs a steady, understanding presence to talk through feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when people want concrete strategies to try between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support coping during stressful moments. It pairs well with skill work from CBT to manage strong emotions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then shape sessions together in a collaborative way.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also make it simpler to maintain momentum between appointments and to practice skills in everyday settings.
