Andrea Bednarz, LCMHC, is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 20 years of experience helping people move beyond patterns that keep them stuck. She works with individuals who feel the ongoing impact of unresolved trauma, strained family relationships, or a sense of disconnection in important relationships, and she offers a supportive place to begin making sense of what has happened and what needs to change.
Her work often supports people who notice they are getting through the day by masking, shutting down, or leaning on avoidant coping such as excessive scrolling, gaming, shopping, or using alcohol or other substances for relief. Andrea helps clients recognize what these strategies are trying to protect, and then build healthier skills that align with the life they want to live.
Andrea specializes in mood disorders, substance misuse or dependence, adult children of emotionally immature parents, boundary development, parenting concerns, and family dynamics. She also has a particular focus on pet loss and disenfranchised grief, offering care for losses that can feel overlooked or hard to explain to others.
Therapy is meant to be steady and workable, not something to dread. While meaningful change can take effort, Andrea prioritizes an approach that is as supportive and satisfying as possible so clients can stay engaged through the difficult sessions and the growth that comes with creating lasting change.
Andrea Bednarz uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients move away from avoidance and toward coping tools that are more sustainable. A common focus is building practical skills for stress and anxiety - learning to notice triggers, respond to intense emotions more effectively, and make choices that support day-to-day functioning even when life feels overwhelming.
She also draws on structured approaches that support healthier boundaries and relationship patterns. This can be especially helpful for people navigating family dynamics, parenting challenges, or the lingering impact of emotionally painful experiences, including grief that feels hard to talk about, such as pet loss. Sessions can focus on understanding patterns, strengthening communication, and developing routines that better match personal values.
Because therapy is not one-size-fits-all, identifying the right approach is part of the work. Andrea collaborates with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adjusts the pace and focus accordingly.
Online therapy makes it easier to access support in a format that fits real life. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, changing needs, and different comfort levels with how to communicate.
