About Andrea
Andrea Aurino is a licensed master social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She practices in Michigan and draws on 25 years of clinical experience to guide people through difficult life changes. Her style is compassionate and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on practical coping skills and clearer communication.
Andrea focuses on everyday problems that can feel overwhelming. She helps people facing relationship strain, family tensions, caregiver stress, and the emotional aftermath of abuse or loss. She also supports those coping with natural or human-caused disasters and the ripple effects those events bring.
In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to build useful habits and change unhelpful patterns. That can mean spotting thinking traps, retelling painful memories with new perspective, or setting small, achievable goals. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Her approach is practical. People leave with specific strategies to handle anxiety, improve communication, and manage mood. Andrea pays attention to life stage concerns, including midlife change and later-life stressors, and tailors support accordingly.
For those new to therapy, she prioritizes clear steps and realistic goals. Prospective clients complete a short questionnaire to begin, then schedule sessions based on availability. Andrea uses plain language and steady guidance throughout the process.
How Andrea’s approaches guide online work
Andrea often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful thinking. CBT is practical and can reduce anxiety and low mood by changing habits and reactions.Narrative Therapy is another tool she uses to separate people from their problems. It helps by allowing someone to retell their experiences and find different meanings, which can be useful after trauma or major life change.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable steps toward clear goals. It works well when someone wants fast, concrete changes like improving communication or building daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea collaborates with each person to pick which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Confirm session formats before scheduling since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will fit into your schedule and day-to-day life.
