About Andrew

LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) in Michigan with 13 years of experience, Andrew Breen helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. He also supports people facing ADHD, addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, relationship and family problems, and work-related strain. Andrew describes his work as grounded in recognizing each person’s strengths and story.

Andrew works in a straightforward, strengths-focused way. He treats clients as experts on their own lives and helps them find concrete steps forward. Sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying what has helped in the past, and trying practical strategies to handle difficult moments.

He regularly addresses substance-related issues and compulsive behaviors alongside mood and anxiety concerns. For parents he focuses on coping strategies, managing stress, and addressing parenting challenges rather than family therapy techniques. Andrew also assists people with concerns tied to adoption and foster care, attachment questions, autism and Asperger syndrome, and intellectual or developmental issues.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach that balances support with action. The aim is to identify manageable goals and small changes that fit everyday life. He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to inform sessions while adapting to each person’s needs.

Andrew offers services in English and practices in Michigan. He uses the LMSW credential for clinical work. To begin, readers are asked to follow the online intake steps and schedule an initial session through the site.

How evidence-based methods inform online work

Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. Cognitive methods focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. These approaches help people break cycles of worry and increase activities that improve mood.

Behavioral strategies are used to address habits and compulsive behaviors, including substance use. This can include setting small, achievable goals, tracking patterns, and practicing alternative coping responses. These techniques often work well for impulsivity, addiction-related concerns, and anger management.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to test approaches, see what helps, and adjust plans based on goals and preferences. That means sessions can shift from talking and planning to skill practice depending on what the client needs.

Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discussing practical needs during the intake helps shape how sessions are scheduled and structured.
