About Andrina
She combines several therapeutic ideas into an integrated, person-focused style. Sessions focus on identifying what feels most urgent, then practicing tools to manage stress, anxiety, anger, or panic. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, relationship strains, and career decisions by breaking problems into manageable pieces.
Her background includes school guidance work and counseling across community mental health settings, colleges, hospitals, and correctional facilities. She has also led workplace mental health workshops for organizations such as Blue Cross Blue Shield and Head Start. That variety informs how she adapts practical strategies to different life situations.
In the therapy room she aims to empower people rather than lecture them. She uses approaches like attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help clients test new ways of coping. Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy also appear when they fit a person's goals.
People who want hands-on tools for stress, parenting pressures, relationship concerns, or career crossroads may find her style useful. She invites clients to try small changes, track what helps, and adjust the plan over time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early connections affect current relationships. Online sessions can use this lens to identify patterns in how people relate and try different responses in daily life. Client-centered therapy focuses on respectful listening and helping people find their own answers; it translates well to talk-based sessions where the therapist follows a client's pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and small experiments that clients can practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they review what helps, adjust techniques, and set realistic steps to try between meetings.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for check-ins from different locations. It can also make some tools, like in-the-moment skill practice or short coaching-style check-ins, easier to schedule around work or family obligations.
