About Andria

Andria Connell is a New York licensed mental health clinician (LMHC) who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on six years of clinical experience to support clients seeking new coping strategies, clearer perspectives, and practical tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Her background includes focused work with first responders and with individuals processing trauma and its emotional effects.

Connell uses evidence-informed techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed practices to address symptoms like panic, emotional dysregulation, grief, and relationship or workplace challenges. She also addresses concerns including anger, addictions, parenting challenges, blended family issues, and young adult or women’s issues.

Sessions emphasize developing skills for self-love, forgiveness, and managing guilt or shame. Offering online services from New York, she provides therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Prospective clients can expect a collaborative approach that blends practical skill-building with compassionate listening to help them move toward healthier patterns and daily functioning.

Online approaches that combine skill-building and compassionate listening

Client-centered therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist listens deeply and helps clients explore their own goals and values; this approach is helpful for building self-awareness and emotional processing. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, panic, and everyday stressors. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and awareness practices that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation for issues like trauma, grief, or workplace stress.

Choosing the right approach is often part of the therapeutic journey. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so clients feel involved in decisions about their care.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and access support from home. These options create flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographic constraints while still receiving structured therapeutic work focused on practical skills and emotional growth.
