About Brandon
Brandon Woffinden is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah. He helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, grief, addiction, and trauma-related concerns. Brandon also supports those managing ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and career or parenting stress.
He spent a decade in law enforcement before earning a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix in 2012. That background shaped his calm, direct approach and his interest in first responder resiliency.
Background and approach
Brandon uses everyday language and practical tools during sessions. His working style centers on listening first and then offering hands-on strategies. He commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy.
Brandon also integrates mindfulness, breathing practices, and guided relaxation when those methods fit a person's goals. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, actionable steps that can be used between meetings. He encourages clients to notice patterns, try new skills, and track progress in real situations.
Brandon respects each person's spiritual path and will include those values when helpful. People who choose him can expect a steady, collaborative process that blends problem-solving with emotion regulation work. He welcomes questions about how therapy will proceed and what to expect in early sessions.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered work focuses on understanding a person’s goals and values. In practice this means listening carefully, reflecting what is shared, and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client. It helps with motivation, life changes, and questions about meaning.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It works well for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems by giving clear exercises and experiments to try between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It includes skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication, which many people find useful when stress or relationships feel overwhelming.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and skill demonstrations, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing coaching or progress notes. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days while keeping focus on practical skill building and consistent follow-up.
