About Brandon

Brandon Bunker is a licensed counselor with an LCMHC and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) credential. He has 11 years of clinical experience and works from Utah. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, LGBT-related concerns, addictions, and the strains of parenting and family life.

Brandon uses clear, direct conversation to help people untangle what feels overwhelming. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to find practical steps that change everyday patterns. Sessions also use client-centered techniques to keep the work focused on the person in front of him.

He pays attention to how attachment and early losses shape current relationships and brings Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas into conversations about intimacy, commitment, and communication. That can include work on codependency, abandonment fears, and fatherhood or caregiver stress.

Brandon also supports people navigating kink, BDSM, and alternative sexual cultures without judgment. He helps people address sexual health concerns, boundary setting, and maintaining consent and communication in intimate relationships.

His style is collaborative and straightforward. He helps people set short-term goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track small changes over time. To start, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.

How Brandon blends approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that fit personal values. It can help when anxiety or avoidance keeps someone from trying new things. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds. It helps with fears around abandonment, trust, and closeness in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brandon treats the choice of method as collaborative. He reviews goals, tries strategies, and adjusts the plan based on what helps the client most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue therapy while managing moves, school, or work changes. Brandon uses techniques from ACT, CBT, and attachment work in remote sessions to practice skills, rehearse conversations, and process difficult memories or emotions.
