About Armando

Armando Severino is a New York licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, and addictive behaviors.

Background and approach

He draws on eight years of clinical experience to support people coping with life changes, parenting challenges, intimacy concerns, self-esteem issues, and compassion fatigue, and he also offers attention to adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, codependency, and men's issues. Armando’s style blends practical skill-building with a client-centered stance that prioritizes the person’s own goals and strengths.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core framework alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered techniques, and motivational interviewing to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. Sessions aim to identify workable strategies for daily life while also addressing patterns that maintain distress.

Fluent in English and Spanish, Armando provides a collaborative environment where clients can explore painful experiences such as post-traumatic stress, domestic violence histories, or loneliness, and work toward clearer values and healthier coping. His practice in New York emphasizes adaptability, meeting clients where they are, and helping them develop tools that fit their circumstances.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care

Armando often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and problematic coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another frequent feature of his work, focusing on clarifying values, increasing psychological flexibility, and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful action.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. He discusses goals and preferences with each client and adapts methods over time, combining tools from different approaches when that best supports recovery and day-to-day functioning.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase access and fit into busy lives. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across schedules and locations within New York while allowing for different levels of interaction and immediacy based on client needs.
