Andrew Breen , LMSW

Andrew Breen is a Michigan-licensed therapist with 13 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, motivation struggles, low self-esteem, confidence concerns, and depression. He practices as an LMSW - a Licensed Master Social Worker - which reflects advanced graduate training and clinical practice in social work and mental health. Andrew combines practical strategies with a strengths-focused perspective to help clients move toward clearer goals and improved day-to-day functioning.

He approaches each person as the expert of their own story, building on existing strengths and resources rather than assuming a one-size-fits-all solution. Andrew emphasizes practical tools for coping and decision-making while also attending to the personal courage it takes to pursue lasting change. He frames the work as a collaborative process that honors each client’s values and priorities.

Seeking a more satisfying and balanced life can feel daunting, and Andrew aims to provide steady support and empowerment throughout that journey. His practice centers on helping people identify achievable steps, strengthen resilience, and build confidence so they can navigate challenges with greater clarity and hope.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Andrew focuses on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and personal strengths. One common approach centers on skills-based interventions that teach concrete coping strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms - these techniques help clients build problem-solving, emotion regulation, and day-to-day coping tools that can be applied between sessions.

Another key element is a strengths-based, collaborative framework that highlights the client’s own resources and goals. This approach supports motivation and confidence by identifying what already works for the individual and intentionally expanding those capacities to meet new challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity across life changes, and access help from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt these evidence-based techniques to remote formats while keeping the focus on useful, goal-oriented work.
