Andrea Bednarz

Andrea Bednarz is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in New Hampshire with twenty years of experience. She welcomes conversations about stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, and the everyday challenges of parenting. Andrea also helps people cope with life changes and grief that can feel overlooked, such as pet loss or long-term estrangement.

Her style is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that lead to avoidance, numbness, or unhealthy coping behaviors like excessive scrolling, gaming, or substance use. Andrea works with clients to build clearer boundaries, improve communication, and develop healthier routines that fit into daily life.

Andrea has a long history assisting people with family of origin issues, attachment concerns, and blended family challenges. She supports those facing divorce, separation, aging and geriatric worries, chronic illness or pain, and the complexities of commitment and codependency. Her approach brings attention to both current stressors and the background patterns that keep problems repeating.

Clients who struggle with emptiness, forgiveness, or eating and food-related problems can expect practical strategies alongside reflective work. Therapy aims to reduce harmful habits and replace them with coping tools that feel doable between sessions. Andrea emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Sessions are offered in English and Andrea accepts international clients. Prospective clients are invited to start by completing a short matching questionnaire to find the right schedule and fit.

How evidence-based work translates to online therapy

Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people change unhelpful patterns and manage strong emotions. One common approach focuses on identifying avoidance and replacing it with small, manageable actions that reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes boundary development and communication skills, which helps people navigate family conflict and relationship strains more clearly.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will decide which techniques to try and adjust them over time so the work fits the client’s needs.

Because the biography does not specify which session formats are offered, confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or reducing the need to arrange extended childcare. It also lets people continue consistent work during life transitions and when managing chronic illness or caregiving demands.
