About Brandy
Brandy Queijsen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida who helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She greets clients with a calm, supportive style and encourages small steps toward feeling better. Brandy emphasizes practical skills alongside listening, so people leave with tools they can use right away.
She brings 18 years of experience in community and clinical settings. Her work covers many concerns, including stress, addictions, self-esteem, parenting strains, eating and sleep issues, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and bereavement. She also addresses attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care challenges, blended family stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and interpersonal control or communication problems.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used to shape thoughts, build distress tolerance, and improve emotional regulation. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas guide how she attends to relationships and personal history.
Sessions focus on clear, practical goals and step-by-step skills practice. Brandy tailors each plan to current needs while helping people build long-term coping abilities. She aims to make therapy feel usable in everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps a person clarify what matters to them and then take small steps that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions when someone wants actionable direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete techniques to shift unhelpful patterns and improve mood or sleep. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication for people who need stronger coping tools.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort. That choice can change over time as needs shift, and sessions often blend techniques to match what is most helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow for flexible scheduling around work or family demands. They can also support steady practice of skills between meetings and make check-ins simpler on days when a shorter visit is needed. Licensed professionals and therapists typically adapt exercises and skill-building so they translate well to remote meetings.
