About Andrew

Andrew Breen is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 13 years of experience. He works with people who have stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and parenting concerns, and also helps with motivation and confidence challenges.

He writes plainly and focuses on what clients bring to sessions. He treats clients as the expert on their own lives and draws on their strengths. Sessions are presented as practical conversations where steps forward are discussed and tested.

Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood and behavior. He helps people break down big problems into small, doable steps. That can include managing symptoms of ADHD, coping after loss, or facing addiction and anger issues.

He also supports people dealing with relationship and family stress, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and the effects of trauma. He will talk through coping strategies for isolation, grief, and career-related stress in everyday terms.

People can expect straightforward feedback and goal-focused work. Andrew emphasizes building confidence and practical skills rather than long academic explanations. He encourages small changes that fit daily life and checks progress as sessions continue.

How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions

Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills. Cognitive approaches help identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with clearer options; this can assist with social anxiety, low confidence, and mood shifts. Behavioral strategies break goals into small actions and experiments to build new habits and reduce avoidance behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss what methods fit a client's goals and preferences and adjust plans as progress is reviewed. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps in day-to-day life.

The practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling and fitting therapy into a busy day. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins or to avoid travel time. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered and which ones will best fit your routine.
