Andrea Brant, LMHC

Andrea Brant is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 13 years of experience. She practices in Massachusetts and brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy. Andrea focuses on listening first and tailoring plans to each person.

She began her clinical work in an inpatient dual diagnosis setting and later provided therapy in federal programs. Andrea has run an outpatient clinic and has worked with a wide range of clients across many life stages. Those experiences shaped how she assesses concerns and builds treatment steps.

Andrea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a foundation while adapting methods to individual needs. She also draws on client-centered principles and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness when helpful. Sessions are collaborative and focused on real-life changes.

Clients can expect straightforward feedback, practical coping tools, and steady support. Andrea emphasizes clear communication and works to make therapy feel relevant to daily life. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can bring whatever is on their mind.

Her specialty areas include stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship and communication problems, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, ADHD, and parenting concerns. Andrea also addresses attachment issues, blended family challenges, body image, caregiver stress, and related concerns.

She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging and provides initial evaluations as part of the process. Andrea helps people set practical goals and develop skills they can use between sessions.

How Andrea uses practical approaches online

Andrea often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that fuel anxiety, low mood, or problematic behavior. CBT focuses on simple skills and homework that people can try between sessions to see real shifts.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions start with listening and building trust. That approach helps people feel heard and shapes the plan around their goals. Andrea incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or relationship patterns are part of the concern.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Andrea will talk through options, match techniques to your goals, and adjust the plan as you progress. The work is paced to what feels manageable and targeted to daily life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you work face to face when a longer conversation is needed. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in fits the schedule. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter updates, faster responses, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to practice skills in the moments they matter.
