About Brandy
Brandy Walker is an LCSW, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with 20 years of experience. She holds LCSW credentials in California and Georgia and works in California. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and addiction-related concerns.
She sees individuals, couples, and families. Her practice includes work with LGBTQ clients, people with ADHD, those coping with grief, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, anger, and career stress. Codependency and attachment concerns are listed among her focus areas.
Her approach is practical and hands-on. She aims to increase self-awareness through mindfulness and to teach tools people can use between sessions. She uses a range of methods to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and relationship dynamics.
Brandy names Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) among the approaches she draws on. That mix is applied to problems like trauma, relationship conflict, upsetting mood, and recurring anxiety.
She encourages people ready to take a first step toward change to begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
How sessions work
How attachment work and skills-based therapy translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current bonds. Online sessions can use that approach to look at how someone gives too much, avoids conflict, or feels abandoned in relationships and to practice different ways of relating.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches how thoughts influence feelings and actions and offers clear exercises to change unhelpful thinking. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and intrusive worries and translates well to talk-based sessions and homework between meetings.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name their emotions during relationship conversations. It can be used to improve closeness, address intimacy-related issues, and reduce repeating patterns that feed codependency concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine approaches over time. That decision is based on regular check-ins and what the client finds most helpful.
The original profile does not specify which session formats are used online, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, a shorter phone or video check-in during a work break, or sessions that avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, assign practical homework, and use skills practice between meetings to help integrate change into daily routines.
