About Brandy
Brandy Queijsen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, stress, depression, grief, trauma, and phobias. She works with concerns like self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, sleep and eating problems, and life changes. Brandy frames sessions around what each person needs right now.
She writes and speaks plainly so parents and busy adults can follow along. Brandy blends practical skill-building with a focus on how relationships shape feelings.
Background and approach
She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral work to reframe unhelpful thoughts. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice what matters and move toward it. Sessions often include mindfulness, emotional regulation skills, and concrete communication practice.
Her practice also pays attention to attachment patterns and how early connections affect current relationships. That perspective is useful for concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family stress, and commitment issues. Brandy helps people identify longstanding patterns and try different ways of relating.
She has worked across many settings in Florida and supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, domestic violence recovery, and disruptive mood or dissociation symptoms. Brandy aims to tailor plans so goals are realistic and measurable. Her approach centers on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Brandy offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. She speaks English and continues to base her practice in Florida as an LCSW. If you are exploring options, she encourages a short initial conversation to see whether her style fits your needs.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Brandy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy during online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them and then take actions that match their values, which can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, or avoidance.She aims to figure out the best approach together. During early conversations she will ask about goals, what has helped or not helped before, and daily routines, then tailor methods to fit those needs. That collaborative process helps set short-term steps and longer-term goals you both agree on.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper work and practicing communication skills, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or for easier check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter, flexible check-ins between sessions or when writing helps you process thoughts. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities while using the therapeutic approaches described above.
