Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists in 77039

My name is Elaine Brandon, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in San Antonio, Texas and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I have been practicing for over 25 years. I work with adolescents and young adults, specializing in anxiety, stress, and depression, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Brief Therapy to help my clients make progress and start feeling better.

My training includes a MA in counseling, MS in marriage and family therapy and BS in human development and family studies. I have worked in the mental health field over 15 years and have been licensed since 2006. My areas of expertise range from community mental health to crisis intervention.

I’m a recovering perfectionist. And I thought I was doing pretty good with my journey, until I experienced an unexpected major stroke. That major life crisis was, ironically, a great opportunity to reassess what I was doing to take care of myself…physically and emotionally. As a high-achieving Black woman who was recovering from perfectionism, turned into a Black woman who is a stroke survivor, I’m passionate about helping other high-achieving women of color to pause, to breathe, and to assess what they are doing to take care of themselves…physically and emotionally.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supervisor with over 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents and families. As a former educator and school counselor, I saw first-hand how mental health affects our children’s learning. I strongly believe that our children cannot learn well if they do not feel well emotionally. With the many obstacles our children and adolescents encounter daily, please give me the opportunity to provide a safe space to hear your child’s story. I utilize evidence-based and developmentally appropriate modalities when working with children and adolescents.
