About Bryan
Bryan Stanfill is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Idaho with 22 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, intimacy-related concerns, men's issues, and other mood and relationship challenges. He offers practical, down-to-earth help for everyday problems that wear people down.
Bryan has worked in private practice, schools, inpatient and residential settings, and community programs. That range of settings shaped a straightforward style focused on what actually happens in life. He pays attention to how people think, react, and behave in real situations rather than only talking about symptoms.
His approach looks at the assumptions that drive behavior and the habits that keep problems going. That can mean learning new ways to respond to triggers, testing automatic thoughts, and practicing different behaviors until they feel more natural. He uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral work, skills-based approaches, and trauma-focused techniques where they fit.
In sessions the emphasis is on concrete steps people can use between meetings. That might include short exercises, new coping strategies, and small experiments to try in everyday life. Bryan aims to help people notice progress and build on what works.
He accepts clients who prefer to work in English and is open to international clients as well. To begin, readers are asked to use the site's matching flow to pick a plan, complete a short questionnaire, and schedule the first session.
How CBT, DBT, and trauma work in online sessions
CBT helps people notice and change the thoughts and behaviors that often fuel anger and anxiety. It uses clear exercises and real-life experiments to test assumptions and try new responses. DBT focuses on emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that reduce reactivity and help manage strong feelings in the moment. Trauma-focused therapy addresses how past events shape current reactions and teaches ways to process memories and reduce their impact on daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bryan will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting plans based on real progress and feedback.
Confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings from different locations. They can also let sessions be shorter check-ins when schedules require it, or focus on practicing skills in the middle of a hectic week. Practical factors like time zone, device type, and whether a session will be a longer therapy hour or a brief check-in are worth discussing when scheduling.
