About Brandy
Brandy Queijsen is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She brings 18 years of experience and a steady, practical approach. Her style aims to make hard conversations feel manageable and useful from the first meeting.
She prefers short, clear sessions that focus on skills you can use right away. Common topics include grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleeping and eating problems, and concerns about self-esteem.
Background and approach
Brandy also supports people working through attachment, abandonment, and communication issues. Her work draws on several approaches to fit each person’s needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and ACT to help people act on what matters most.
Brandy also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and an attachment-based lens when early relationships shape current patterns. Sessions may include practical exercises, skill practice, and straightforward conversation about patterns and goals. She aims to help people build coping strategies for stress, parenting strain, chronic illness, and work or career challenges.
Many clients address intimacy or relationship difficulties and parts of identity such as LGBT concerns. Brandy holds a Florida LCSW and works with adults across a range of life stages. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.

How therapy approaches translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that align with them. It helps when people feel stuck by changing what they do rather than trying to force certain thoughts to disappear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it gives practical tools to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication in heated moments.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques in session, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That means sessions may blend ACT, CBT, and DBT skills to match individual needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let therapists and clients use face-to-face interaction for skill coaching and role play. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill reminders, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions, making care easier to fit into a busy schedule.
