About Andrea
Andrea Brant is a licensed mental health counselor with 13 years of experience. She holds an MA and practices as an LMHC in Massachusetts. Andrea started her career in inpatient care and has worked in a variety of settings, including outpatient clinics and government programs.
She has seen people across a wide age range and with many different life situations. Andrea keeps sessions practical and collaborative. She begins with an evaluation to understand current needs and history.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and strategies that fit each person. She aims to be direct, friendly, and nonjudgmental in her work. Her background includes extensive work with stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns.
She also has experience with trauma, addiction, grief, sleep problems, and parenting questions. Additional focus areas include attachment concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and communication problems. Andrea uses several approaches to guide sessions, including cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and client-centered methods.
She brings mindfulness and emotionally focused ideas into therapy when helpful. The focus is on practical skills and clearer relationships rather than jargon. Parents often look to her for help managing behavior, setting boundaries, and coping with life changes.
She also supports people facing intimacy or relationship stress and those adjusting after separation or loss. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Andrea uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep problems by teaching concrete skills and short-term strategies.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation and strong reactions are a concern. DBT offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling difficult interactions. Client-centered therapy is part of her approach too, which means sessions focus on each person's goals and she listens closely to what matters most to them.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. She works with clients to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. The plan can shift as progress is made and new needs appear.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy families and individuals. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions suit those on the go, and live chat or text messaging can keep support accessible between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, and caregiving schedules while still using the therapist's chosen techniques.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
