About Brandon

He also supports those facing relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, parenting strain, career questions, and the emotional effects of life changes. Brandon writes plainly and meets people where they are. He trained at the University of Phoenix and earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2012. Before counseling he spent ten years working in law enforcement, which shaped his interest in resilience and practical coping skills. He draws on a range of methods to match each person’s needs. Brandon commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and client-centered approaches. He also offers mindfulness, meditation, deep breathing, emotional freedom techniques, and cognitive reframing as hands-on tools. Sessions emphasize concrete skills people can try between meetings. His experience includes work with anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and first responder resiliency. Brandon is interested in helping people explore personal spiritual paths when that matters to them. He brings a straightforward and supportive style to sessions. People who choose him can expect short, focused meetings and practical strategies for managing strong feelings and daily demands. He aims to help people build skills, notice patterns, and make small changes that ease daily life. To book, follow the site’s scheduling flow and complete the matching questionnaire.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. It helps people feel heard and supported as they figure out their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical steps to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and self esteem. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, with hands-on exercises for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and provide a way to practice skills in day-to-day routines. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises for remote sessions so people can learn and practice coping strategies between meetings.
