Brenda Dziesinski, LMSW

Brenda Dziesinski is a Michigan-licensed social worker who brings a thoughtful, person-centered approach to helping people navigate difficult transitions and emotional challenges. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Behavioral Science and a Master’s degree in Social Work, and she practices as an LMSW - a Licensed Master Social Worker - providing assessment, therapy, and advanced social work case management. Brenda has seven years of clinical experience working with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns, compassion fatigue, and life changes, as well as clients dealing with aging, hospice and end-of-life issues, and veteran-related matters.

Brenda aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored. She partners with clients to identify goals, build coping skills, and develop practical strategies for day-to-day challenges. Seeking change can take courage, and Brenda focuses on supporting and empowering people as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life. Her work emphasizes collaboration, respect, and clear communication to help clients find approaches that fit their values and circumstances.

Evidence-Based Support Delivered Remotely

Brenda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and compassionate support. One common approach is skills-based coping work, which teaches concrete strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and difficult emotions through techniques such as problem-solving, grounding, and pacing - these tools can help clients regain a sense of control during transitions. Another core element of her practice is supportive counseling, which offers a safe space to process grief, compassion fatigue, and end-of-life concerns while exploring values and meaning.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapeutic process. Brenda collaborates with each client to identify goals, test different strategies, and adjust the approach as needs and preferences evolve, ensuring the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy with Brenda is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, or caregiving responsibilities. Remote sessions make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support during life changes, and integrate therapy into everyday routines, all while working with licensed professionals who guide the process.
