About Andrea

Andrea Bednarz is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in New Hampshire. She draws on two decades of experience to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted by patterns that no longer serve them. Andrea focuses on practical change so daily life becomes more manageable and meaningful.

Many people come to her for help with stress and anxiety. She also addresses relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, and adapting to life changes. Eating and food-related issues are among the areas she pays attention to when they affect wellbeing and daily functioning.

Andrea has worked with adults coping with grief that is often overlooked, including pet loss and other disenfranchised grief. She supports people facing family of origin problems, abandonment wounds, attachment concerns, and difficulties after divorce or separation. Chronic illness, chronic pain, and codependency are also within her focus.

Her style aims to reduce dread around therapy and make the work doable. Sessions mix calm listening with direct tools for setting boundaries, improving communication, and changing unhelpful habits. The goal is steady progress you can live with between sessions.

To begin, Andrea asks people to share what feels most urgent and what they hope will change. From there she helps build small, realistic steps toward healthier patterns and clearer relationships.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people change patterns and manage symptoms. One approach focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful behaviors and thought patterns to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes building healthier boundaries and communication skills to ease relationship and family stress. These methods are practical and aim to produce steps you can use between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and how they prefer to work. Together you’ll try methods that match your situation and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy lives, making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and medical appointments. Online sessions can also simplify shorter check-ins or make it easier to attend when travel or mobility is a factor. Ask about format details when you set up your first session so you can choose what fits your routine.
