About Andrew
Andrew Breen is a licensed social worker who helps with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting, and self-esteem concerns. He brings 13 years of experience and a practical, down-to-earth manner to conversations about tough moments. He works with issues such as addiction, grief, anger, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings and honest talk about what’s working and what isn’t. He sees each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
The approach is collaborative and straightforward rather than lecturing. Andrew offers support during life changes, including separation and adoption-related concerns, and addresses attachment, autism spectrum issues, and family problems when they come up. Andrew holds an LMSW, which means Licensed Master Social Worker, and is licensed in Michigan under number MI LMSW 6801112278.
He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. Language used in meetings is plain and focused on practical strategies, not jargon. Sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Online formats are used to make therapy easier to fit into busy schedules and varied routines. Fees vary by location and depend on the subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.
Approaches for practical online support
Evidence-based techniques guide how Andrew structures sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving; this helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress by giving concrete strategies to try between sessions. Another approach emphasizes skill-building for everyday challenges, such as improving routines, managing strong emotions, and practicing parenting strategies; this is useful for coping with life changes, impulsivity, and family-related concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Andrew talks with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. He adjusts methods over time so therapy stays relevant and practical for a client’s situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. These options allow for flexible scheduling and ongoing check-ins without needing travel time. Many clients find the variety of formats helps maintain progress and stay connected between appointments.
