About Andrea
Dr. Andrea Burgio-Murphy is a clinical psychologist licensed in Georgia with 21 years of experience. She works with adults and young people on problems related to anxiety, depression, stress, attention and motivation, and relationship or parenting strains.
She focuses on problem-focused goals in a collaborative relationship. Sessions are practical and paced to address current difficulties. She helps people develop skills for coping with life changes, sleep and eating problems, anger, and work or career concerns.
Her approach draws on evidence-based methods alongside psychodynamic ideas. That means some attention to past patterns, used mainly to identify what blocks learning new coping skills now. The work mixes skill practice with discussion of emotional patterns that keep problems repeating.
She regularly supports people facing trauma, grief, intimacy struggles, and issues related to LGBTQ identity. She also works with those navigating bipolar mood concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and personality issues where these affect daily functioning.
Dr. Burgio-Murphy aims to shape sessions to each person's situation. She notes that progress often comes from clear, short-term goals and steady practice between meetings. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
She combines evidence-based techniques with psychodynamic ideas. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practice and skill building; they help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating patterns. Psychodynamically informed work looks at past patterns and relationships to see what blocks learning new coping skills now and can clarify emotional reactions that recur.Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, then adjust methods as work progresses. Patients and the therapist decide together which techniques to emphasize during sessions.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on the format offered. Many people find remote appointments help keep momentum between visits while balancing parenting and work demands.
