About Andreina

Andreina Bello is an LMHC who centers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy within a compassionate, client-focused framework. She brings 11 years of clinical experience across diverse settings, including work with unhoused adults, in-home therapy, school-based services, and office practice in Florida.

Background and approach

Her approach emphasizes practical skills and insight to address mood, anxiety, and behavioral concerns while adapting methods to each person's needs. Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns such as depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and panic, trauma and abuse, substance use and co-occurring conditions, grief, and parenting challenges.

She also supports clients facing attention and concentration difficulties, eating and body-image concerns, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Sessions are shaped by Evidence-informed methods - including CBT, client-centered techniques, emotionally focused perspectives, existential inquiry, and mindfulness - chosen to match therapeutic goals.

Bello aims to foster an atmosphere free of judgment where clients can build tools for lasting change and greater resilience. She speaks English and Spanish, accepts international clients, and offers multiple remote session formats to increase accessibility for people navigating complex schedules or life circumstances.

Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care

Andreina commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, panic, and behavioral challenges. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create an accepting, empathetic environment in which clients can explore values, goals, and emotional experience at their own pace. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is employed as needed to help people better understand and reorganize emotional responses, which can be especially helpful for processing trauma, loss, and relational difficulties.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with each person to clarify goals, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust strategies over time so treatment stays relevant to the client’s needs and circumstances.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible and accessible. These options allow people to receive ongoing care from Florida or abroad while balancing work, family, or other obligations, and they support continuity of treatment when life circumstances change.
