About Andrea
Andrea Corson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 29 years of behavioral health experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, trauma, relationship and parenting concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other life shifts. Andrea aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable and respectful.
Andrea earned a Master of Social Work from Hunter College School of Social Work in New York City.

Her approach is collaborative and practical. Andrea describes her work as client-centered and strength-based, and she uses solution-focused techniques to identify small, workable changes.

In sessions she will help you set clear goals together and offer direction, education, or coaching when it fits your needs.

How Andrea’s approaches translate to online therapy
Andrea uses motivational interviewing and client-centered methods to help people identify what matters to them and build motivation for change. Motivational interviewing focuses on drawing out a person’s own reasons for change and supports shifts in habits related to addictions, mood, or health goals.
She also practices cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and problems like insomnia or difficulty managing stress. These methods are presented in plain language and used together to match what each person needs.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Andrea collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She will check in regularly and adjust the plan based on progress and preferences.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options when you arrange care. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins or appointments that match work or family schedules. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about what session rhythm and format will work best for you. -
