About Andrew
Andrew Breen is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 13 years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, parenting challenges, ADHD, addictions, grief, trauma and anger. Andrew focuses on practical ways to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.
He sees people who are trying to manage mood challenges and life changes. That includes work pressures, relationship strain, and the frustration that comes from repeated setbacks. He helps people talk through what sets off intense feelings and figure out smaller steps that feel doable.
Andrew’s style is direct and collaborative. He treats clients as the experts on their own lives and builds on existing strengths. Sessions often focus on identifying patterns, testing new behaviors, and planning concrete next steps to reduce impulsivity and reactivity.
His background includes a decade-plus of clinical work across settings in Michigan. That experience informs how he helps with addiction-related concerns, grief, and parenting strain. He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide interventions and goal-setting.
People who work with him can expect straightforward conversation about what’s getting in the way and practical skill-building. He encourages action between sessions so change occurs outside the therapy hour. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session are the normal first steps.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and behavior change. One approach emphasizes learning and practicing coping skills to manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive reactions; it helps with anger, anxiety, and stress by giving clear strategies to try between sessions. Another approach focuses on examining patterns of thought and behavior, helping people notice triggers and test small changes to see what works in everyday life. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He discusses options with each person and adapts methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to prioritize and how to pace skill practice. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings. They can reduce travel time and allow check-ins from a convenient location. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available online options before booking so you know how sessions will be conducted. The focus remains on practical skill development and making changes that hold up in daily routines.Areas of expertise
