About Andrea
Andrea Aurino, LMSW, offers a practical, person-centered approach to therapy. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship pain. Her style is calm and direct, and she focuses on what will make daily life feel more manageable.
Andrea draws on 25 years of experience working with people through major life transitions. She helps those coping with trauma and abuse, family conflict, and the emotional fallout from separation or caregiving strain. Codependency and communication problems are part of the concerns she often addresses.
In sessions she uses concrete tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems in place. Narrative Therapy is used to look at how a person’s stories shape their identity and choices. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and identify small steps that create momentum.
Andrea aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. She works with clients to build coping skills, improve communication, and reduce overwhelm. Practical strategies are paired with time to process painful experiences and build better daily routines.
Her practice is based in Michigan and she brings particular sensitivity to midlife transitions, workplace stress, and aging concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and informed by decades of experience helping people find clearer direction and greater resilience.
How Andrea’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Andrea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns that increase anxiety or low mood, and then test small behavior changes to see what helps. Solution-Focused Therapy is goal-oriented and looks for practical next steps that create quick relief and forward motion. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves to open up new possibilities.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Andrea collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly to see what is working and adjusts the plan together.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also be helpful when someone prefers not to use video, needs a lower-bandwidth option, or wants to schedule around work or caregiving duties. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, Narrative, and Solution-Focused techniques to remote sessions while keeping the focus on practical changes and steady progress.
