About Brandon
Brandon Woffinden is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He welcomes conversations about parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Brandon keeps language direct and practical so people can feel heard quickly.
He spent a decade in law enforcement before earning a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix in 2012. That prior work shaped his calm, steady style and his interest in first responder resiliency. He uses tools like mindfulness, meditation, deep breathing, and cognitive reframing to help people manage intense feelings.
Brandon commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy skills to build coping strategies and change unhelpful thinking patterns. He also uses client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities. He incorporates existential questions when people want to explore meaning and values.
Sessions are practical and task-oriented when that suits the person, and they can also be reflective when someone needs to process loss or trauma. Brandon often blends approaches so the plan fits each situation rather than following a single method.
He holds the Utah Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential - LCMHC - and has about ten years of experience in counseling work. Sessions are conducted in English and he does not take international clients. To begin, use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
How Brandon’s approaches translate to online work
Brandon commonly uses mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and calm the body. Mindfulness exercises and breathing techniques are easy to practice during conversations and often help with anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm.
He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new ways of thinking. CBT is useful for depression, anxiety, and for building concrete coping skills. Client-centered methods shape sessions around what matters most to the person, giving space for goals and values to guide the work.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Brandon treats planning as a collaboration and will explore which methods fit a person’s goals and daily life. He mixes techniques when that helps and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice mindfulness and CBT skills in the moments they arise during the day rather than waiting for an in-person visit.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
