About Brandy

Brandy Queijsen, LCSW, helps people facing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy struggles, grief, addiction, and life transitions. She also supports concerns like ADHD, bipolar mood issues, parenting strain, body image, and stress from caregiving.

Background and approach

Brandy writes plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone searching on a phone. Brandy brings 18 years of clinical experience in Florida to her work.

She adapts her approach to each person's needs rather than using one fixed method. Sessions focus on what matters now and on skills that can be used between meetings.

Her style balances understanding with practical steps. She uses Gottman Method ideas for relationship patterns alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based techniques to explore values, connection, and behavior change.

Cognitive Behavioral tools and client-centered listening are also part of the mix. In sessions she teaches emotion regulation, communication skills, and concrete coping strategies.

People can expect short-term tools for managing panic or anger plus longer work on patterns like attachment, abandonment, or recurring conflict. She pays attention to how life roles - such as parenting or caregiving - affect wellbeing.

Brandy offers a respectful, down-to-earth presence and aims to make therapy clear and useful. She invites people to take the next step when they are ready and helps set goals that fit real life.

How Brandy blends methods online

Brandy uses Gottman Method ideas to look at patterns in relationships and help people change how they communicate and reconnect. Gottman-informed work focuses on small behavior shifts and clearer ways of talking so interactions feel safer and more productive.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or ACT, which centers on values-driven action and accepting difficult thoughts while still moving toward meaningful goals. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and the frustration that comes with big life changes.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try techniques that fit each person. That collaborative process helps identify whether Gottman ideas, ACT strategies, attachment-focused work, or cognitive-behavioral tools are most useful.

Online formats make it easier to connect when schedules are busy or travel is difficult. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for communication practice, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports brief updates or coping prompts between sessions. These options let people choose what fits their daily life and helps keep therapy consistent.
