About Brandy

Brandy Queijsen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, parenting strain, and blended family issues. Brandy also supports people with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, sleep and eating issues, and stress related to caregiving or chronic illness.

She uses practical skills from several approaches to help people manage intense emotions and improve daily functioning. Brandy draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and build committed action toward valued goals.

Brandy’s style is down-to-earth and direct. Sessions focus on clear steps people can use between appointments. Typical work includes learning concrete coping skills, practicing new ways to communicate, and planning small behavior changes that fit a busy life.

Her background spans community and clinical settings across the lifespan. That variety informs how she approaches complex situations like grief, attachment disruptions, and blended household stress. Brandy helps people sort competing demands, set boundaries, and reduce overwhelm so they can manage day-to-day responsibilities more easily.

She offers therapy in English from Florida. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Brandy uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. DBT is useful when emotions feel intense and relationships need clearer boundaries and communication. She also applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take small committed actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings remain. ACT supports work on meaningful goals alongside symptom management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress and challenges emerge so the plan can change in a practical way.

Session format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins that work around work or caregiving schedules. Some approaches lend themselves to skill practice between sessions, which can be done whether meetings are remote or in person. Ask about how sessions are conducted when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match your routine and goals.
