About Brandon
Brandon Woffinden is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and mood concerns. He offers straightforward support for coping with life changes, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and work-related pressure. Brandon acknowledges how hard asking for help can be and aims to make the first steps easier for you.
Brandon earned his master of science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix and has ten years of professional experience. Before counseling he spent a decade working in law enforcement, which shaped his practical, calm approach to therapy. He brings that background to sessions when helping people build day-to-day coping skills.
In sessions he draws largely from cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior, and dialectical behavior therapy, which teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. He also uses client-centered techniques, mindfulness practices, guided relaxation, and hypnotherapy tools when they fit a person’s goals.
Expect a collaborative, plainspoken style focused on specific tools you can use between meetings. Techniques include breathing exercises, meditation, cognitive reframing, and short homework to practice new responses. Brandon also supports people exploring spiritual questions as part of their healing.
Sessions are scheduled in 30-minute increments through his scheduling page. He works with adults on a range of concerns from PTSD and first responder resilience to chronic illness coping and caregiver stress. If you want to begin, follow the site flow to match and pick a time that works for you.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, helping people feel heard and make their own choices about healing. This approach helps with motivation, self-esteem, and life decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts shape feelings and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and handling crises, with practice in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust as progress unfolds. That means trying skills in-session and refining what is most useful for day-to-day life.
The original profile notes sessions are scheduled in 30-minute increments, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a short appointment is needed. It also supports practicing mindfulness or breathing exercises in the moment and reviewing cognitive tools with worksheets between meetings.
