About Brandy

Brandy Queijsen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 18 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and family of origin patterns.

She approaches sessions in a straightforward, person-focused way. Conversations cover what feels most pressing now. She will use practical skills drawn from several methods to help people manage distress and improve daily functioning.

Brandy blends strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That mix allows her to focus on skills like emotional regulation, communication, and building more helpful habits. Sessions also address attachment patterns and how early family roles continue to affect adult life.

Her work often includes teaching mindfulness and grounding techniques, practicing clearer communication, and setting realistic goals for change. She pays attention to the ways abandonment, adoption and foster care history, blended family dynamics, and caregiving stress show up in relationships and self-view.

People who come to her talk about sleep or eating concerns, chronic illness or pain, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and anger or control issues. She also supports those facing divorce, separation, domestic violence, dissociation, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder related concerns.

Therapeutic approaches and how they apply online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and clarifying personal values to guide choices. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for mood, worry, and behavior changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to reduce high-emotion reactions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Expect some initial sessions to focus on priorities and a plan rather than committing to one single method right away.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from a workday. They also let people practice skills in everyday settings and move directly into applying new communication or grounding techniques to real-life moments.
