About Andrew
Andrew Breen is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 13 years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, parenting strain, and life changes. He also supports people dealing with ADHD, addiction, grief, trauma, and career pressure.
He frames the work as collaborative. He treats the person in front of him as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on practical steps and building on existing strengths rather than on long lecture or jargon. The tone aims to be direct and steady so parents and adults can use what they learn right away.
In appointments he listens for patterns that make everyday problems harder. He helps people spot unhelpful habits and try small changes. He will talk through coping tools for mood, worry, impulsivity, and managing difficult relationships at home.
Andrew has supported people through addiction, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and attachment issues, among other concerns. He also has experience with adoption and foster care matters and with intellectual disability and autism-related needs. That background informs how he plans steps and goals with each person.
Sessions are meant to be practical and paced to fit real life. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and improve everyday functioning. To begin, a short matching form and an initial appointment let him and the client set clear, achievable goals together.
How sessions work
Evidence-based methods and online sessions
Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is behavioral strategies that target everyday habits and routines; these help reduce anxiety, manage mood, and support parenting demands. A second approach is problem-solving work that breaks larger issues into achievable steps, useful for coping with life changes, career stress, and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is collaborative. He will review goals and preferences with each person and adjust methods over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to try first and how to measure progress.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, such as having a shorter check-in during a break or meetings that avoid travel time. It also allows continuity of care when schedules or locations change. The focus is on practical benefits that help sessions fit real life while working toward the goals set with the therapist.
