Andrea AurinoLMSW

Andrea Aurino is a licensed social worker who uses a practical, person-centered style to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She works with clients who are managing trauma, family conflicts, and major life changes. Andrea brings 25 years of practice in Michigan to each session and speaks English.

In sessions Andrea keeps things straightforward. She helps people name problems, test small changes, and build coping skills that fit day-to-day life. Conversations focus on what feels most pressing, from mood and anxiety to communication problems and caregiver stress.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. She uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their stories and make space for new meaning. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set clear goals and track progress with concrete steps.

Andrea has extensive experience supporting people through transitions like midlife shifts, workplace strain, adoption and foster care issues, and divorce or separation. She also assists those dealing with domestic violence aftermath, first responder stress, and aging or caregiver concerns.

Sessions aim to strengthen practical skills such as communication, boundaries, and emotion regulation. Andrea emphasizes collaboration and respects each person's pace while working toward manageable change.

How Andrea's Approaches Fit Online Care

Andrea commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thinking patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood and to try new behaviors that can change feelings. She also uses Narrative Therapy to help clients tell and reshape their life stories, which can ease the impact of past events and improve meaning. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set specific, short-term goals and focus on steps that lead to visible progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Andrea will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend a mix of techniques. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize skill practice, story work, or solution-focused planning.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules and fewer disruptions from travel or commuting.

Many people appreciate that online care can allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, reduce the need to arrange transportation, and make it easier to continue work while addressing stress, relationship concerns, or pregnancy and childbirth related life changes.
