About Brandon
Brandon Woffinden is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah who helps people work through stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, and codependency. He acknowledges that reaching out for help can feel scary and offers steady, nonjudgmental support. Brandon presents therapy as a partnership where clients set the pace and goals.
He earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix in 2012. Before counseling, he spent a decade in law enforcement, experience that informs his calm, practical approach to crisis and high-stress issues. Brandon has ten years of clinical practice experience overall.
In sessions he leans on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, and borrows tools from other approaches when they fit the person’s needs. Typical tools include mindfulness, meditation, breathing exercises, emotional freedom techniques, and cognitive reframing. Sessions aim to teach skills that people can use between meetings.
Brandon also supports people exploring spiritual questions alongside their mental health work. He has worked with individuals facing PTSD, depression, grief and loss, and first responder resilience. He describes therapy as a place to learn coping strategies, increase self-understanding, and make steady changes.
Session lengths have included shorter 30-minute increments according to his scheduling notes. Prospective clients can expect straightforward conversation, practical exercises, and a focus on skills that fit day-to-day life.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them find their own solutions, which can be useful for concerns around self-esteem and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it often involves homework like tracking thoughts or practicing new skills between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings or reactive behavior.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work with the client to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches. This is a collaborative process that evolves as progress is made.
