About Andrea
Andrea Alli is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) licensed in Vermont with 10 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship concerns, sleeping problems, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Andrea also works with obsessions, compulsions and OCD, and phobias. She offers practical, person-focused conversations to help people manage immediate problems and build coping skills.
Andrea begins sessions by identifying a person's needs, strengths, and capabilities. She listens for what feels most urgent and for small steps that can reduce distress. Sessions often blend talking, breathing and body-awareness techniques to address overwhelming feelings and to improve day-to-day functioning.
Her work includes approaches that center the client's experience. Andrea uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities. She uses mindfulness and somatic practices to help people notice how stress shows up in the body and to develop self-regulation skills.
For people with a history of trauma or overwhelming memories, Andrea uses trauma-focused methods and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address distressing memories and sensations. These approaches are used alongside talking and grounding techniques rather than as standalone treatments.
Throughout the work she emphasizes collaboration and clear goals. Sessions are practical and paced to match what a person can handle. To start, she asks people to identify one or two changes they want to make, then builds from there.

How her approaches translate to online work
Andrea uses client-centered methods that focus on a person’s priorities. This means sessions begin with the person’s immediate concerns and move at a pace that feels manageable. Mindfulness therapy in her practice teaches simple attention and breathing skills that can be practiced during or between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve sleep.Andrea also uses EMDR for trauma-related memories and distressing images. In plain terms, EMDR involves guided attention and processing alongside talk work to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories. Somatic techniques in her work help people notice bodily reactions to stress and learn small, practical ways to calm the nervous system.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. She will discuss options, try methods that fit the person’s goals, and adjust what’s used based on how someone responds. The choice between talking, mindfulness, somatic work, or EMDR is made together.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that learning mindfulness and somatic skills remotely transfers well to daily life, while EMDR and trauma-focused work can also be carried out remotely with planning and discussion.
