Andrew Breen, LMSW

Andrew Breen is a Michigan-licensed LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) with 13 years of professional experience supporting adults through periods of stress, anxiety, low motivation, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. He approaches each person with respect for their knowledge of their own life story and seeks to build on the strengths clients already possess to address what feels overwhelming or stuck.

Andrew frames the work as a collaborative journey in which clients take the lead and he offers tools, perspective, and encouragement to help move toward more satisfying and sustainable change. He recognizes that reaching out for support takes courage and that practical progress often begins with small, steady steps. His practice emphasizes empowerment, skill development, and compassionate accountability to help clients pursue clearer goals and healthier daily routines.

Clients can expect a calm, supportive professional who helps translate intention into action while honoring each personâs pace and priorities. Andrew aims to create space for honest work on difficult emotions and relationships while highlighting resilience and capacity for growth.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress and low mood, helping clients learn practical strategies to shift those patterns and improve daily functioning. He also emphasizes skills-based approaches that teach emotion regulation, stress management, and problem-solving to support parenting, relationship challenges, and impulsive or addictive behaviors, offering concrete tools clients can use between sessions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Andrew works with each person to explore what feels most helpful, tailoring techniques to match individual goals, values, and life circumstances so therapy fits the client rather than forcing the client to fit a method.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and people in different locations within Michigan. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support during transitional periods, and choose the format that best suits a clientâs comfort and daily routine, while still working with a licensed professional committed to measurable progress.
