About Brandy

Brandy Queijsen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida who helps people facing a wide range of concerns, including trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and money and financial issues. She encourages people to take the first step toward change and meets each person where they are. Her tone is direct, compassionate, and practical.

Brandy brings 18 years of experience in mental health work. She uses a mix of approaches and tailors care to individual needs rather than one fixed method. Sessions often focus on building skills like emotional regulation, communication, and mindful coping so daily life feels more manageable.

Her practice blends several therapeutic styles. Brandy uses tools from cognitive behavioral methods to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and from dialectical behavior approaches to teach distress tolerance and mindfulness skills. Attachment-based ideas shape how she supports people dealing with relationship and trust issues.

Brandy frames therapy as a collaborative process. She listens for priorities, helps set realistic goals, and adjusts strategies as progress unfolds. Practical steps and small behavior changes are emphasized alongside exploring feelings and patterns.

People who come for help can expect straightforward conversation, skill-building exercises, and a focus on workable changes. She works in English and practices in Florida as an LCSW. If you want to explore therapy, she asks people to start by completing a short matching questionnaire so sessions can be scheduled.

How these approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small steps toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety. It often includes concrete exercises between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal skills to help manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, explain options, and try strategies to see what fits. That collaborative process helps tailor techniques so they feel useful and realistic for daily life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make regular check-ins more consistent. Others appreciate being able to use brief phone check-ins when bandwidth or time is limited. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for you and how to structure sessions around work, caregiving, or treatment goals.
