About Andrea
Andrea Brant is a licensed mental health counselor with 13 years of clinical experience. She practices in Massachusetts and brings a background that includes inpatient and outpatient settings. Andrea aims to create a straightforward, respectful space where people feel heard and understood.
She began her career in an inpatient dual diagnosis unit and later provided therapy for members of the federal government. Over the years she ran an outpatient clinic and worked with a wide range of people and presenting concerns.
How Andrea works
That range helped her learn how to tailor care to different needs rather than use one fixed approach. Andrea uses a collaborative style. She prioritizes honest, friendly, and practical interactions.
Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small, doable steps to get there. Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship and communication problems, grief, trauma and abuse, and addiction concerns. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, sleep problems, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.
Andrea draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, emotionally-focused ideas, and mindfulness practices. She tailors those approaches to each person’s goals and life circumstances. Online formats are part of her practice to increase flexibility and access.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Andrea blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify goals and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Client-centered methods mean conversations center on the person's experience and priorities, while cognitive behavioral techniques focus on practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and stress.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Those tools teach breathing, grounding, and communication skills that can be used during intense moments or to improve relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals and preferences with each person and suggest strategies that fit their life. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helping and what is not.
Online therapy with Andrea is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make sessions more flexible. Video allows face-to-face interaction, phone can be lower bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging helps with ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, and family schedules.
