    About Armando

    Armando Severino is a licensed mental health counselor based in New York who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and related struggles. He speaks English and Spanish and brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions. He focuses on meeting each person where they are and building on their strengths to move forward.

    Armando uses a blend of practical approaches to match what a person needs. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and make small behavior changes. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to explore motivation and build commitment to change.

    Sessions are collaborative and focused on real problems. Armando aims for clear goals and steps that feel doable. He pays attention to how past hurts, trauma, or caregiver strain affect daily life and relationships.

    He also supports people facing substance-related struggles, codependency, isolation, fatherhood concerns, and issues tied to adoption or foster care. Work with him can involve improving self-esteem, navigating intimacy challenges, or coping with compassion fatigue and caregiver stress.

    People can expect a straightforward style that listens closely and helps identify practical next steps. Armando encourages small, sustainable changes and works with each person to find approaches that fit their situation.

  2. How these approaches translate to online help

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring a person's own reasons for change and strengthening their motivation in a respectful way. It can help with behavior change like reducing substance use or starting healthier routines. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while moving toward values-based action. This approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and daily life. Expect adjustments over time as progress and challenges become clearer.

    Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets a person meet with a licensed professional from where they already are, which can help maintain consistency in care and follow through on agreed steps.
