Hi, I am Andrea. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a wide variety of experience. Currently, in addition to providing counseling through Better Help, I work as a Clinical Coordinator within the NYC hospital system. I coordinate treatment amongst a variety of agencies to best support persons with severe mental illness as they reintegrate back into the community. I have also developed a program to support adults with developmental disabilities by connecting them to community treatment providers.
During my time as a social worker, I have provided counseling to persons in the criminal justice system in a variety of contexts. I also have experience as an individual and group therapist for persons struggling with substance use disorders in the outpatient setting. I previously served as a counselor and advocate in the hospitals, courts, and on a crisis hotline for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence.
As an undergraduate at SUNY New Paltz, I studied sociology with a focus on human services. As a graduate student at CUNY Hunter, I received a Masters in Social Work with a concentration in Children, Youth, and Families. I am trained in Mental Health First Aid and Crisis Intervention. I completed a course in Social Pedagogy in Denmark, learning to integrate a holistic and relationship-based approach into my counseling techniques.
I know that no single approach to counseling is the right one for each person. My counseling style aims to meet my clients where they are at to promote self-advocacy and highlight inner strengths. I utilize methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Andrea is the best!
She’s amazing!
The best!!!
Andrea is an amazing counselor! She has helped me through a lot of phases and a lot of situations. She has given a perspective wherein I would not have thought of myself.
The first time I tried BetterHelp I had a counselor that didn’t really care what I had to say and I didn’t know that that wasn’t what therapy was supposed to be. Andrea Mazziotti is the complete opposite. She’s amazing, she really listens to your concerns and makes sure to address them. I’m so glad I was matched with her
Thank you for being here for me.
