Brandy Queijsen

Brandy Queijsen, LCSW, supports people facing loss, trauma, anxiety, and big life transitions. She helps with stress, mood struggles like depression and bipolar concerns, challenges with attention, and relationship and intimacy-related worries. She also works with issues such as addiction, eating and sleep problems, parenting strain, and LGBT-related concerns.

Brandy brings 18 years of experience in social work and keeps the work straightforward. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client. She emphasizes practical skills for emotional regulation, clearer communication, and handling painful memories so daily life becomes more manageable.

Her approach blends several evidence-informed styles to match each person’s needs. Techniques might include focused behavioral strategies, mindfulness and acceptance skills, and work that looks at early attachment patterns to improve current relationships. Brandy aims to tailor each plan rather than use one fixed method for everyone.

Clients can expect calm, direct guidance and a focus on learning tools to use between sessions. Brandy names compassion and steady problem solving as core parts of her style. She encourages people to set small, doable goals and to notice progress along the way.

Brandy practices in Florida as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She speaks English and brings a broad background supporting people through grief, complex trauma, caregiving stress, and major life changes. Her goal is to help clients find balance and clearer steps forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based action so small steps match what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotional regulation, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and better communication, which can help with strong emotions and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which techniques to prioritize and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking to know what online formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people continue care through transitions or while living in different parts of Florida. The focus remains on practical skills, managing day-to-day stress, and supporting coping with life changes while tailoring sessions to what the client needs.
