Dr. Andrea Burgio-Murphy, GA Psychologist PSY003242

Dr. Andrea Burgio-Murphy is a clinical psychologist licensed in Georgia with 21 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping adolescents and young adults manage anxiety, depression, stress, attention difficulties, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, parenting challenges, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar and personality-related issues, and career or life transitions.

Andrea takes a problem-focused approach inside a collaborative relationship. Sessions aim to set clear, practical goals and teach skills that people can use day to day. She uses evidence-based techniques alongside psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns that get in the way of change.

In therapy she may look to past experiences to uncover obstacles that prevent new coping strategies from taking hold. Then she works with clients to build and practice specific skills for managing mood, attention, and stress. Conversations are tailored to each person’s needs and paced to match their readiness for change.

She presents herself with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and emphasizes practical tools as well as personal insight. The focus is on empowering people to set achievable goals and follow through. People who want both skill-building and deeper understanding may find this combined style helpful.

Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her years of practice with adolescents and young adults. Prospective clients should use the site’s Start Therapy flow to begin the matching and scheduling process.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Andrea combines evidence-based techniques with psychodynamic-informed therapy. Evidence-based techniques focus on teaching specific skills for managing anxiety, mood, attention, and stress. These are practical steps and exercises a person can practice between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Psychodynamic-informed therapy looks at recurring patterns and past relationships to understand what might be blocking change now, helping people gain insight into habits that undermine their goals.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist works with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Over the first few sessions she will assess what helps most and adjust the plan so sessions stay focused and useful.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue care while managing school, work, or medical appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt activities and homework to work well over distance, and the therapist will discuss practical options during the initial scheduling step.
