About Brandy

Brandy Queijsen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 18 years of experience. She works with people facing anger, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a wide range of life stressors. Brandy helps people who struggle with coping, self-esteem, addictions, parenting stress, and sleep or eating difficulties.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses skills-based work from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach techniques for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take values-based steps in daily life.

Brandy combines these approaches with attachment-focused thinking to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Sessions often include short exercises, skill practice, and real-life planning. She focuses on concrete tools people can use between meetings to manage strong feelings and handle conflicts more calmly.

Her background includes long-term clinical work across many settings and client ages. That experience informs a flexible, client-centered style that pays attention to personal history while emphasizing present-day skills. Brandy works in English and sees clients based in Florida.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a cancellable subscription model.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose small actions that match their values. It can help with chronic anger, anxiety, and coping when life shifts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches clear exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anger that comes from recurring thoughts or stress reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication that help when emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which mix of ACT, CBT, DBT, or attachment-focused ideas fits their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as skills are practiced and situations change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, working remotely can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use skills between meetings in real time. Conversations online can still focus on practicing concrete strategies, setting small behavior experiments, and planning steps to reduce reactivity and improve communication.
