About Brandon

Brandon Woffinden is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction. He supports clients working through trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and issues tied to adoption and foster care. He draws on practical tools so people can start feeling better between sessions.

He spent a decade in law enforcement before completing a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix in 2012. That background shapes his calm, straightforward approach to difficult problems. He uses plain language and simple exercises so conversations feel useful from the first visit.

His everyday methods include cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. He also brings in mindfulness, meditation, emotional freedom techniques, deep breathing, and cognitive reframing when those tools fit. Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills and small changes that add up over time.

Brandon helps clients explore personal values and spiritual questions when those topics matter to the person. He has experience supporting people with PTSD, first responder resilience, and long-term mood concerns. His style is collaborative - he listens, suggests strategies, and adjusts the plan as needs change.

Session length and scheduling can vary, so prospective clients should confirm options when they start. He practices in Utah and conducts work in English. To begin, a simple matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect people with his practice.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and tailoring the session to what matters most to the person, helping them find their own direction and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals and daily life. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, blending skills training, mindfulness, and values-based conversation to fit the person’s priorities.

This profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use guided breathing, mindfulness, and homework exercises in their usual surroundings, which helps translate skills into everyday routines.
