About Armando
Armando Severino is a licensed mental health counselor in New York who aims to help people feeling stuck by focusing on what matters to them. He approaches sessions with calm, straightforward guidance and looks for practical steps clients can try between meetings. He speaks English and Spanish and brings eight years of experience to his work.
Armando draws on several methods to fit each person's needs rather than using a single roadmap. He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help people reduce anxiety, cope with grief, manage stress, and address codependency and addiction concerns. Sessions often involve noticing patterns, testing small changes, and setting clear goals.
In the room he emphasizes the client’s own strengths and choices. He listens for what a person already does well and builds on those abilities to face new challenges. Whether the focus is parenting strain, fatherhood questions, caregiver stress, or intimacy-related issues, the work aims to make daily life easier to manage.
Armando also brings experience helping people after trauma and with recovery from domestic violence or other painful events. He uses practical strategies to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning while attending to each person’s values and priorities. Progress is paced to what the person feels ready to try.
Many clients find the combination of practical tools and a supportive, down-to-earth approach helpful when navigating life changes. To begin, people select a Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session according to the therapist’s availability.
How Armando’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and issues like codependency when someone wants clearer direction about what matters to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching practical skills to try between sessions.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and supports the client in finding their own solutions rather than prescribing steps.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try practical techniques, and adjust the plan as needs change. That collaboration helps find which methods feel most useful.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm available formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people attend without traveling. Licensed professionals can guide you in adapting exercises and between-session tasks to whatever session format you choose.
