About Armando
Armando Severino is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping men and others facing stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. He speaks English and Spanish and brings practical, straightforward support to people dealing with depression, addiction, relationship strain, and self-esteem struggles. He aims to meet clients where they are and build on their strengths.
Armando uses a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs rather than one fixed method. He often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to shape sessions. That means he helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and take small steps toward meaningful change.
In session he focuses on clear goals and useful tools. Conversations look at what’s getting in the way and what already helps. He guides practical exercises and homework when they help progress between meetings.
Armando brings eight years of clinical experience in New York working with adults and young adults. He has supported people through trauma-related concerns, parenting and fatherhood questions, codependency, and issues tied to adoption and foster care. He also works with people coping with caregiver stress and compassion fatigue.
People can expect a collaborative pace that adjusts over time. Armando emphasizes listening first, then choosing techniques that match each person’s goals. He invites straightforward conversation and steady skill-building rather than quick fixes.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Armando often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to shape online work. CBT helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete tools and small experiments. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps, even when uncomfortable feelings are present, which can help with long-standing avoidance or stuck patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting over time so sessions stay useful and realistic.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and keep continuity during life changes. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or for working without being on camera if that makes participation easier.
