About Brandon

Brandon Woffinden is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and related concerns.

Background and approach

He brings a decade of clinical experience to his work, drawing on therapeutic tools to address mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, challenges like ADHD and compassion fatigue, and relational or intimacy-related issues including communication and commitment challenges.

Brandon’s background includes a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and ten years of previous work in law enforcement, and he blends several evidence-informed methods to meet individual needs. He commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), while also integrating client-centered techniques, mindfulness practices, hypnotherapy tools, and existential perspectives as appropriate.

Practical skills Brandon employs include cognitive reframing, mindfulness and breathing practices, meditation, and emotional freedom techniques. Based in Utah, he offers sessions through multiple online formats and aims to collaborate with clients on goals ranging from coping with life changes to career and parenting concerns.

His approach emphasizes respect for each person’s choices and a commitment to supporting people as they pursue clearer direction and improved daily functioning.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Brandon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in his online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. DBT emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering concrete strategies for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Brandon works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. He tailors interventions based on each person’s needs and mixes techniques from different approaches when that best supports progress.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible and accessible. These formats allow for regular skill practice, brief check-ins, and focused sessions that fit into varied schedules while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
