Getting to know Elaine Brandon

My name is Elaine Brandon, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in San Antonio, Texas, 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 approach The therapeutic approach I use depends on the needs of my clients. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Brief Therapy, as both help me meet clients where they are so that together, we build a shared understanding of their reality and plan their journey forward. My focus My style and approach fit well with teens and young adults facing life transitions and social pressures, often showing as anxiety, depression, and stress. I help clients negotiate these periods by building coping skills and self-esteem, allowing them to feel better and develop more positive outlooks on life. My communication style My communication style is calm, accommodating, non-judgmental, and personable. I want clients to feel they can talk to me about anything and know they are in a safe, judgment-free space. My journey to therapy I became a therapist after earning my bachelor's degree in finance and spending a decade in the business world. While working with youth in my church, I realized my true calling was to help young people. I pursued my master's degree in Educational Psychology, Counseling, and Guidance at The University of Texas at San Antonio. Concurrently, I taught older elementary and middle school youth, beginning my journey toward a career helping youth.
