Andrea Brant, LMHC

Andrea Brant is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who is licensed in Massachusetts and Nebraska and has spent years supporting people through a wide range of concerns. She began her career in an inpatient dual-diagnosis setting, gaining early experience with complex mental health and substance-related challenges. At the same time, she worked as a therapist for the federal government, helping men and women seeking guidance as they worked to make healthier life decisions. She later ran an outpatient clinic and has worked with clients across a broad age range, from young children to older adults, which has shaped a flexible, down-to-earth way of meeting people where they are.

Throughout her career, Andrea has completed initial evaluations not only for her own clients, but also for clients who were being seen by other therapists. This has given her extensive exposure to many different presenting concerns and has strengthened her ability to quickly understand what someone is experiencing and what support may be most helpful. Her areas of focus include depression, anxiety, self-esteem, communication challenges, and relationship concerns, and she also has experience working with people impacted by trauma related to abuse and other factors.

Andrea’s counseling style is collaborative and individualized. She aims to help clients feel heard and to ensure therapy is shaped around their specific needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. She describes her manner as honest, friendly, and supportive, and works to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can talk openly, even about topics that feel uncomfortable. While she often draws from cognitive behavioral approaches, she tailors the work so it fits the person in front of her and supports meaningful progress. Andrea has provided online therapy for some time and values the accessibility it can offer, including the ability to share thoughts, reflect, and receive timely support without waiting weeks for an appointment.
