Andrea Aurino , LMSW

Andrea Aurino is a licensed therapist practicing in Michigan who brings 25 years of clinical experience to her work supporting people through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. She focuses on depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, and personal growth, combining an empathetic, person-centered style with practical strategies to help individuals move forward. Andrea holds an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker - which reflects her graduate-level training in social work and a professional license to provide therapeutic services.

Her approach centers on creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their history, strengthen coping skills, and deepen self-understanding. She has particular expertise in addressing women’s issues, midlife transitions, workplace stress, and family dynamics, and she works collaboratively with clients to address social anxiety, isolation, communication difficulties, and emotional healing from past experiences.

Across two and a half decades of practice Andrea has worked with people at many stages of life, including older adults and young professionals facing major change. Her aim is to foster resilience, encourage self-compassion, and guide clients toward meaningful, lasting personal transformation.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Andrea Aurino integrates several practical therapeutic approaches to help clients address emotional and interpersonal challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve everyday functioning. Narrative Therapy invites clients to examine the stories they tell about themselves and to reframe those narratives in ways that support healing, identity growth, and stronger relationships. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying strengths and realistic goals, helping clients build step-by-step strategies to move toward the changes they want to see.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrea works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting techniques as work progresses to ensure a good match. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to each individual’s situation.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in that process. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can connect from home or other convenient locations, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care when schedules or circumstances change.
