About Brenda
Brenda Dziesinski is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan. She brings seven years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. Brenda aims to create a calm space where clients can speak openly and feel heard.
Brenda focuses on short- and longer-term struggles that often come with transitions. She helps people facing compassion fatigue and low self-esteem. She also supports concerns related to aging, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and issues connected to military service for veterans and armed forces members.
How Brenda works
In sessions she listens first and helps clients set practical goals. Conversations explore current coping skills and what gets in the way of change. Brenda works alongside each person to try different ways to feel less overwhelmed and more steady in day-to-day life.
Her background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Behavioral Science and a Master’s degree in Social Work. The LMSW credential indicates graduate-level training in social work and clinical practice. Those qualifications inform her approach to assessment and planning.
Brenda offers a supportive style that balances empathy with practical steps. She encourages small experiments between sessions so people can test what helps them. The emphasis is on building manageable routines and clearer thinking during stressful times.

Evidence-based techniques and online access
Brenda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach emphasizes building coping skills to manage anxiety and stress through breathing strategies, activity planning, and step-by-step behavioral changes that reduce overwhelm. Another approach centers on grief and end-of-life counseling, helping people name their feelings, process loss at their own pace, and find ways to honor memories while adapting to new routines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Brenda will work with each person to identify which techniques fit their needs and goals. Together they try methods, review what helps, and adjust plans so therapy matches preferences and real-life constraints.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you connect visually for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief, flexible ways to share updates between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, caregiving, or transportation challenges, and they support consistent progress over time.
