About Andrea
Dr. Andrea Burgio-Murphy is a clinical psychologist licensed in Georgia (GA Psychologist PSY003242) with 21 years of experience. She focuses on young adult issues and related concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, attention difficulties, relationship strain, and life changes.
She works directly with people who are facing the pressures of leaving home, starting work or college, and navigating new relationships. Sessions aim to set clear, problem-focused goals and to build practical coping skills that can be used right away.
Her approach blends evidence-based techniques with psychodynamic ideas. That means therapy can include skill work for current problems and some exploration of past patterns that may keep those problems repeating. The past is used to understand barriers to change, not as the only focus.
In practical terms, Dr. Burgio-Murphy structures sessions around specific targets. She helps clients learn strategies for attention, mood, stress, sleep, and interpersonal problems. Conversations are adapted to each person's needs and pace.
She has worked across many presentations, including the interaction between chronic medical conditions and mental health, grief, trauma, and mood disorders. People who want clear, goal-oriented support for early-adult life transitions may find her approach straightforward and focused.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Her profile notes use of evidence-based techniques alongside psychodynamically informed work. Evidence-based methods typically include focused skill teaching such as cognitive and behavioral strategies that help manage anxiety, mood, attention, and sleep. These teach concrete tools to change thinking and behavior in daily life.Psychodynamically informed work means briefly exploring how past relationships or patterns influence present reactions. That exploration is used to identify what might block learning new coping skills and to clarify goals for change. Together these approaches balance immediate skill building with deeper understanding of repeated patterns.
Finding the right mix is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful during early sessions, and then adjust the plan as progress continues. Clients help set priorities so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often adapt session length and focus to fit work, school, and daily life without promising a particular format.
