Brandon Woffinden, LCMHC

Brandon Woffinden is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah. He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, and ADHD. He also supports those facing relationship or intimacy challenges, parenting strain, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Brandon spent ten years in law enforcement before completing a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of Phoenix in 2012. He draws on that background when helping people cope with high-stress roles and life change. His practical approach focuses on skills people can use between sessions. Sessions emphasize clear tools and straightforward strategies. Brandon often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior, and dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. He also uses mindfulness, deep breathing, meditation, emotional freedom techniques, and cognitive reframing as helpful tools. He is comfortable talking about spiritual questions and supports people exploring their own spiritual path as part of healing. Brandon notes experience with anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, grief and first responder resiliency. He aims to meet people where they are and work at a pace that feels manageable. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session length that works for the client. Brandon writes that sessions are offered in 30-minute increments on his scheduling page, and he looks forward to working with people ready to take that step.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-centered therapy focuses on the persons own perspective and priorities, encouraging open conversation and empathy to help people find their way forward. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and handling stressful moments without making things worse.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to try methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting strategies as needed based on what helps most. That teamwork helps make sessions feel focused and useful.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins when life gets hectic. Some approaches translate well to short skill practice between meetings, and Brandons emphasis on tools and breathing exercises can be practiced during or after sessions to support progress.
