Andrea Brant, LMHC

Andrea Brant is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts with 13 years of clinical experience. She began her career working on an inpatient dual diagnosis unit and concurrently provided therapy for federal government programs, offering guidance to adults making significant life decisions. Over time she ran an outpatient clinic and worked with clients ranging in age from 5 to 68, developing broad experience across presenting concerns and life stages.

Throughout her career Andrea has conducted initial evaluations for many clients, which has given her exposure to a wide array of mental health needs. Her practice frequently addresses depression, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, communication and relationship difficulties, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports people managing grief, addiction, parenting stress, career transitions, and issues related to intimacy and family dynamics.

Andrea describes her counseling approach as collaborative and individualized. She draws from cognitive behavioral methods while tailoring interventions to each person rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. Clients can expect an honest, friendly, and supportive therapeutic relationship in which the therapist works to understand each person’s goals and preferences. Andrea has extensive experience providing therapy online and values teletherapy for the increased access and responsiveness it brings, helping people begin work on their concerns without long waits for appointments.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Andrea integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping clients identify their own strengths and priorities - it can be useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and major life decisions. CBT involves exploring the connections among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaching practical skills to manage symptoms; it is often effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. DBT offers strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions, anger, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors methods and goals together so the treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Andrea is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care during life transitions, and receive timely support when challenges arise, all while working with a licensed professional who adapts approaches for virtual delivery.
