About Armando
Armando Severino is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. He speaks both English and Spanish and works from New York. His style is down-to-earth and practical, focused on what a person needs right now.
Armando begins by meeting people where they are. He listens for strengths and builds from there. Sessions typically focus on small, concrete steps that fit daily life rather than long lectures or one-size-fits-all plans.
He draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - which looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood - and Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client's goals and experience. Motivational Interviewing is also part of his work, helping people find their own reasons to change when habits or substance use cause problems.
Armando has eight years of professional experience as a licensed mental health counselor, New York LMHC, and has worked with adults, young adults, and adolescents on issues like grief, trauma, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. He also lists adoption and foster care as an area of focus and can support related concerns.
His sessions emphasize practical tools, clear goals, and steady progress. People who want straightforward conversation and usable strategies often do well with his approach. To get started, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Armando uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors to change how they feel. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by working on specific skills and actions.He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on the client's goals and experience. In practice this means conversations that follow the client's priorities and respect their pace. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help with change, such as reducing substance use or building healthier habits; it supports people in finding their own reasons to act.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they select techniques and adjust them over time to find what fits best.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins, and reduce travel time. It can also allow sessions in the language a person prefers, such as English or Spanish, and let the therapist focus on practical tools that transfer to everyday life.
