About Brandon

He brings 11 years of clinical experience and works with clients on relationship concerns, addictions, parenting strains, career stress, and self-esteem challenges. His style is warm and straightforward.
Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and build. He listens first, then offers practical tools people can use between meetings.
How Brandon works
Brandon uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches to match each person's needs. In therapy he often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits. He also uses attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and emotionally-focused methods to strengthen connection and emotional expression.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) shows up when people want to clarify values and act toward them despite uncomfortable feelings. Brandon has experience helping people work through family-of-origin issues, abandonment and attachment wounds, codependency and commitment concerns, and compassion fatigue from caregiving roles.
He also supports exploration of kink and alternative sex culture in a nonjudgmental way and helps people recovering from drug and alcohol problems. Sessions are offered in English and are provided via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Brandon holds UT LCMHC and VA LPC credentials and practices from Utah.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their personal values and take meaningful steps even when emotions are difficult. It focuses on small, practical actions that connect to what matters most and is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional safety. It helps people notice repeating patterns in relationships and practice new ways of relating that feel more supported and connected.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce distress. It teaches concrete strategies for managing anxiety, altering mood, and improving daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick touchpoints between sessions or for people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while still using the same therapeutic tools discussed above.
