About Andrea
Andrea Brant is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts with 13 years of clinical experience. She began her career in inpatient care on a dual diagnosis unit and later provided therapy for federal employees, gaining wide exposure to different life challenges. Andrea emphasizes clear, practical help and a straightforward style that many people find easy to follow.
Her background includes conducting intake evaluations for many clients and supervising care in outpatient settings. That work exposed her to a broad range of issues, including depression, anxiety, self-esteem, communication struggles, trauma from abuse, and codependency. She describes these areas as common concerns she helps people address.
Andrea’s approach is collaborative and flexible. She starts by listening, then shapes therapy around each person’s needs instead of using one fixed method. She aims to be honest, friendly, and supportive so people can bring up hard or awkward topics without judgment.
In sessions she often uses cognitive behavioral ideas alongside client-centered listening and mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and make small changes. She focuses on skills that can be used between meetings, such as managing strong emotions, improving communication, and building routine supports.
Andrea has provided online therapy for several years and sees the format as a way to make mental health care more reachable. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Andrea often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space so people can find their own solutions. This approach helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and communication by prioritizing the person’s perspective.She also draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many day-to-day challenges by teaching clear steps to change what isn't working.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Andrea will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust techniques as needed. That collaborative planning helps shape sessions around real-life needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Andrea has delivered online therapy for several years and sees it as a way to fit care into busy lives. Please confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, schedule sessions around work or caregiving, and keep momentum between meetings by reducing travel time.
