About

Andre Vilarinho is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in New York who provides virtual therapy to people in both New York and Connecticut. He brings five years of clinical experience working with couples, individuals, and families on a wide range of challenges including anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma, addictions, parenting concerns, motivation, and self-esteem.

Andre has particular experience supporting families where a member struggles with anxiety, depression, or addiction, and he has worked directly with parents on parenting strategies and with couples on improving communication. His professional background includes roles in community mental health, group practices, and both large non-profit and for-profit organizations.

He centers therapy on how people feel, behave, and think within relationships - including the relationship each person has with themselves. His manner is typically casual, relaxed, and thoughtful, combining a direct approach with a light demeanor that reflects his optimism about clients' capacity to grow. He aims to build a trusting therapeutic relationship and to offer challenge when it supports progress.

Andre draws on Structural Family Therapy along with cognitive-behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavior (DBT), and humanistic approaches to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. He meets clients where they are and collaborates to develop goals and methods that suit their circumstances, whether the aim is greater insight or improved day-to-day functioning. When the work toward a better life feels effortful, Andre offers consistent support for that journey.

He is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with active licensure in both New York and Connecticut (NY LMFT 001992 and CT LMFT 2851), and he practices from New York while offering virtual services across state lines where licensed.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes - online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person treatment. Research and clinical practice have shown that virtual sessions work well for these typical issues.

One major benefit of online therapy is flexibility. People can choose the format that fits their lifestyle and comfort level - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which often makes it easier to keep consistent appointments and integrate therapy into a busy schedule.

All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many clients, the combination of evidence-based care and convenient access makes online therapy a practical and effective option for addressing everyday mental health and relational concerns.
