Brandon Woffinden, LCMHC

Brandon Woffinden is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and midlife transitions. He approaches therapy directly and compassionately, aiming to make the first steps feel manageable. Brandon acknowledges that asking for help can be hard and works to create a steady, respectful space for conversation.

He earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix and brings ten years of professional experience. Before counseling, he spent a decade in law enforcement, which shaped his interest in resilience and support for people with trauma and first responder concerns.

In sessions he leans on practical tools such as cognitive behavioral strategies and dialectical behavior approaches. He also uses mindfulness, guided breathing, meditation, and cognitive reframing to address symptoms and daily challenges. Brandon incorporates interventions from different therapy styles to match what a person needs in the moment.

He is comfortable talking about identity and LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy difficulties, parenting stress, career transitions, and coping with chronic illness or caregiving strain. Brandon also helps people working through abandonment, attachment questions, body image, and communication problems.

Brandon holds the Utah Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential, LCMHC. Sessions are offered in English and provided from his practice in Utah. To begin, readers are invited to use the Start Therapy process and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online therapy

Brandon commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes and gives practical skills to use between sessions.

He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy techniques that teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. DBT tools can be helpful when strong emotions or relationship difficulties get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Sessions can combine methods and adapt over time so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single style.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family demands, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. Ask about available scheduling patterns and how sessions are structured to find a routine that fits everyday life.
