Andrea Bednarz

Andrea Bednarz is an LCMHC - Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in New Hampshire with 20 years of experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting struggles, and life changes. Andrea also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, and disenfranchised grief including pet loss.

Clients come to her when avoidance or coping habits get in the way of daily life. She talks through patterns such as numbing, excessive scrolling, or substance use and helps clients decide what to change. Sessions focus on practical steps that can be sustained between meetings.

Andrea has long experience with mood disorders and substance misuse or dependence. She supports adults dealing with family of origin problems, blended family challenges, divorce and separation, and communication or control issues. Eating and food-related concerns, chronic illness and disability, and aging issues are also part of her practice.

Her approach emphasizes working through difficult material without making therapy an added burden. She aims to keep sessions manageable while still addressing hard topics. That means setting realistic goals and pacing work so clients can continue through the tougher parts of treatment.

Andrea encourages people to consider what matters most and to test small changes that move daily life closer to those values. New clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to start the process.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions

Andrea works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behavior and emotions. One common approach involves identifying patterns of avoidance and testing small, manageable changes. This helps with anxiety, numbing behaviors, and daily functioning by giving concrete steps to practice between sessions.

Another frequent technique addresses attachment and family-of-origin patterns. This approach looks at how early relationships influence current partnership and family problems, and it supports clearer communication and boundary development for people struggling with codependency or blended family issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea and the client collaborate to pick methods that fit the person’s goals and preferences. She adjusts pacing and strategies as progress and challenges emerge so the plan stays practical and realistic.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, virtual sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making scheduling more flexible. Talk with Andrea about how to structure sessions so they fit your routine and the kinds of issues you want to address.
