Brandy Queijsen, LCSW

Brandy Queijsen, LCSW, focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship concerns. She supports people coping with grief, addictions, parenting stress, and major life changes. Brandy also works with issues like self-esteem, eating and sleep problems, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and communication struggles.

She brings 18 years of experience in social work to her practice. Brandy uses practical, skill-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance and commitment techniques. Sessions aim to teach tools for emotion regulation, clearer thinking, and stronger communication.

Her style is straightforward and grounded. Brandy works collaboratively and listens first to understand each person’s situation. She then helps set small, useful goals and practices skills together in session that can be used between meetings.

Brandy adapts methods to fit individual needs rather than using the same plan for everyone. Attachment-based ideas guide work around closeness, trust, and relationship patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills support distress tolerance, mindfulness, and emotional control when feelings feel overwhelming.

People can expect a mix of talk, skill coaching, and step-by-step problem solving. Brandy helps break larger problems into manageable steps. Her aim is to build coping skills and stronger day-to-day routines that lead to more stable mood and better functioning.

Online approaches that teach coping and connection

Brandy uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and it can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many daily life struggles.

She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck in them, and to clarify what matters most so actions align with values. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns, trust, or closeness are central concerns; this work focuses on understanding connection styles and changing repeating patterns.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Brandy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to prioritize and adjust the plan over time as needs change.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for hands-on skill practice and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when video isn’t possible or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for ongoing check-ins, quick skill reminders, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
