About Andrea
Dr. Andrea Burgio-Murphy is a clinical psychologist licensed in Georgia with 21 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges related to life changes or attention and focus.

Background and approach
Sessions mix skill-building with conversations about patterns that may be getting in the way of progress. Dr. Burgio-Murphy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside insights from psychodynamic thinking.
That means she teaches coping strategies and also looks back at past experiences when useful to understand current struggles. The focus is on learning skills that can be used right away while noticing deeper patterns that affect behavior and relationships. She commonly helps young adults and adolescents with motivation, attention, and the transition challenges that come with growing independence.
She also works with people managing complex situations like chronic medical conditions and their psychological impact. Her approach is respectful and tailored to each person. Conversations are adapted to individual needs, and treatment plans are adjusted as people make progress.
She aims to provide concrete tools and steady support so clients can move toward clearer goals and a more satisfying life.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Dr. Burgio-Murphy uses evidence-based techniques alongside psychodynamic-informed work. Evidence-based techniques focus on skill building such as stress management, attention strategies, and mood regulation. These strategies are taught in simple steps so people can practice them between sessions and see practical benefits for daily life.Psychodynamic-informed work looks at past patterns and relationships to understand how they affect current behavior and emotions. This approach can help when repeated patterns - like difficulty sustaining attention or recurring relationship conflicts - interfere with progress, by naming and working through those patterns together.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then tailor methods as therapy progresses. Clients are invited to give feedback and adjust the plan so sessions stay relevant to real needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexible ways to get support. Video is useful for a deeper conversational session, phone can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth needs, and chat or messaging work well for brief updates, homework, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options can make therapy easier to fit around school, work, and other commitments.
