About Brandon
Brandon Pung is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 15 years of professional experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, and depression. He also helps with related issues such as OCD, panic attacks, mood disorders, and social anxiety.
Brandon approaches sessions with a practical focus. He treats each person as the expert on their own life and builds on existing strengths. Conversations are direct and goal-oriented, aimed at steps that reduce reactivity, manage strong emotions, and improve everyday functioning.
In sessions he breaks problems into manageable parts. That can mean practicing new responses to anger, testing small changes in how someone communicates, or learning techniques to calm panic and anxiety. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and explains them in clear terms so people know what to expect.
He values steady, concrete progress over time. Sessions often include skill practice, feedback, and planning for real-world situations. Brandon encourages small experiments between sessions to test what helps and what needs adjustment.
People who contact him should expect straightforward talk about behaviors, triggers, and practical alternatives. He asks about current patterns and past experiences, then works with the client to build strategies that fit day-to-day life in Michigan and beyond within the limits of his practice.
How his approaches are used in online sessions
Brandon works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can use right away. One approach emphasizes learning concrete coping skills to reduce angry reactions and manage anxiety; it teaches paced breathing, grounding steps, and short behavioral changes to try in stressful moments. Another approach focuses on recognizing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep panic, depression, or obsessive doubts active; it involves testing beliefs with small real-life experiments and adjusting responses over time.Figuring out which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist reviews current concerns, goals, and what has helped before. Then he and the client try methods that match their needs and adjust based on what actually works in daily life.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled and delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some formats use fewer tech demands or focus on audio rather than video, which can help when bandwidth or camera use is an issue.
