Brandon Woffinden

Brandon Woffinden is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, low self-esteem, and issues related to narcissism. He hears people who are coping with trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career stress, and mood conditions like depression and bipolar. Brandon writes plainly and offers steady support for those taking the first step toward change.

He earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix and brings a decade of experience to his work after time in law enforcement. That background shaped his interest in resilience, especially for first responders, and in practical strategies that make a difference day to day.

In sessions he draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy tools. He also uses client-centered and existential ideas when they fit, along with mindfulness, meditation, breathing techniques, and emotional freedom techniques. Brandon focuses on clear skills people can practice between meetings.

Brandon aims to help clients clarify what matters to them and build skills to manage emotions, cope with loss, and change unhelpful patterns. He supports people exploring identity and LGBT concerns, attachment and relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

People who choose him can expect straightforward conversation and practical exercises. Sessions are offered in 30-minute increments through his scheduling page, and he encourages prospective clients to reach out and begin with a short matching questionnaire.

How Brandon blends therapy approaches for online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and supports. This approach helps people clarify values, make decisions, and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness through practical exercises and homework.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Brandon will collaborate with each person to decide which tools and methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. The process is flexible and can combine elements from different approaches as progress is made.

Confirm the current online session options before booking since the original biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use mindfulness and breathing exercises during everyday routines. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT skills to remote sessions so clients can practice tools between meetings.
