About Brandon

Brandon Woffinden is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with 10 years of counseling experience. He works with adults who face stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and anger. He also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, career problems, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and other life changes.

Brandon spent a decade in law enforcement before completing a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix in 2012. That background shapes a direct, practical style. Sessions include straightforward tools such as breathing work, mindfulness, and cognitive reframing. He often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy techniques.

He draws on interventions from multiple approaches when needed. You may use meditation, emotional freedom techniques, or short behavioral experiments during sessions. Brandon also discusses spiritual questions when that matters to a client’s goals. The focus is on clear skills to reduce reactivity and manage intense feelings.

Sessions are structured and skills-based while still allowing time to talk through what led to current struggles. Brandon notes experience supporting first responder resiliency and working with people facing PTSD, grief, and chronic stress. He offers 30-minute appointment increments for some session types.

People who want practical steps to handle anger, reduce panic, or change unhelpful habits may find this approach useful. To begin, readers are asked to complete the service’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options workflow.

How his approaches work for online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps people clarify goals and feel heard while deciding practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short experiments and reframing to change patterns that fuel anger and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and more effective interpersonal behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brandon will talk through options and collaborate with the client to pick techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize skill practice, mindfulness, or deeper reflection.

The original profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people choose remote sessions because they fit into a workday, reduce travel time, or make it easier to do short check-ins. Remote sessions can also make it simpler to practice skills between appointments and try at-home exercises such as breathing or mindfulness. Discuss scheduling preferences and session length when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions fit into your routine.
