About Andrea
She works primarily with adolescents and young adults. Sessions focus on clear, problem-focused goals agreed on together. Andrea aims to move toward practical changes while also understanding patterns that come from earlier experiences.
Her approach blends evidence-based techniques with psychodynamic ideas. That means therapy may include skills practice for current problems alongside gentle exploration of past influences that may still affect daily life. The goal is to learn new ways of coping while understanding what gets in the way of using those skills.
Andrea emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and steady support in her work. She tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs and pace. The therapist frames change as a collaborative effort that pairs tools with encouragement.
She holds the credential GA Psychologist PSY003242. Her practice is based in Georgia and sessions are conducted in English. To begin, clients use the platform’s Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Dr. Andrea Burgio-Murphy combines evidence-based techniques with psychodynamic-informed therapy. Evidence-based techniques focus on learning and practicing concrete skills to manage anxiety, attention difficulties, mood, and sleep problems. These methods teach strategies you can try between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.The psychodynamic-informed side looks at patterns that may come from earlier relationships or experiences. Short, focused exploration can reveal why certain reactions keep showing up and where new coping skills might get blocked. Together these approaches aim to reduce current problems while changing longer-standing patterns.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process means approaches can shift over time as needs and preferences become clearer.
