About Brandy
Brandy Huyck is a Michigan Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She also addresses guilt and shame, struggles with self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.
She believes the client knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. Sessions focus on listening first, then using practical tools to manage symptoms and build confidence. Conversations are direct and plain, aiming to make difficult feelings easier to name.
Brandy draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person in the room. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck. Mindfulness practices are woven in to help with grounding, stress, and intrusive worries.
Her approach emphasizes collaboration - setting small, concrete goals and checking progress together. She helps people sort through guilt or shame tied to choices, identity, or past relationships without promising forgiveness or specific outcomes. Work may include skills practice, thought records, and short mindfulness exercises to use between sessions.
Brandy’s background includes years supporting people through grief and adjustment after life changes. She aims to make sessions practical and focused on what helps in daily life. To start, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. In practice this looks like sessions that begin with the client describing the most pressing concern and the therapist reflecting back to clarify what should come next. This approach supports work on issues like grief, low self-esteem, and relationship-related shame.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and then tests alternatives in daily life. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and social phobia by teaching concrete skills such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and activity scheduling.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces brief attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These small exercises can be used between sessions to manage stress or intrusive thoughts tied to guilt and shame.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences and will adjust plans as progress is made. This is a collaborative process that checks in regularly about what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Those practical benefits can help people practice skills consistently and build momentum in everyday life.
