How Brandy works
Brandy uses empathy and clear feedback rather than jargon. Her clinical work includes trauma and abuse recovery, substance use concerns, attachment and family dynamics, grief and loss, stress and anxiety, and coping with life changes. Additional areas of focus include adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, fertility and reproductive concerns, body image, and career difficulties.
Brandy uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. These include Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). She draws on these methods to address relationships, emotion regulation, trauma processing, and everyday coping skills.
Outside of work Brandy stays grounded through creative pursuits and time with her dog, Coda. She is a native of Utah and has experience both inside and outside the LDS church. Her style suits people who want empathic guidance paired with clear, actionable steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and patterns. It can help people understand trust, closeness, and repeating patterns that affect relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts and behaviors interact; it teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful habits. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Brandy treats the decision as a collaborative process, matching methods to a person’s goals, current needs, and preferences. She may combine approaches over time to address both immediate coping skills and deeper processing.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and visual connection, while phone sessions can fit a short break from work or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity when in-person appointments are difficult.
