About Brandon
Brandon Woffinden is an LCMHC - Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Utah with ten years of counseling experience. He works with young adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, addiction, trauma, ADHD, and career or life transitions. He uses straightforward, practical methods and focuses on helping people manage real problems in daily life.
Brandon earned his master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix in 2012. Before becoming a counselor he spent a decade in law enforcement, and he draws on that background when supporting people who face trauma, grief, or high-stress jobs. He also has experience with first responder resiliency and with people exploring spiritual questions.
In sessions he uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. He also works client-centeredly and may include mindfulness, meditation, emotional freedom techniques, breathing exercises, and cognitive reframing. Conversations are practical and skills-focused, aimed at reducing symptoms and improving daily functioning.
Brandon helps people talk through relationship difficulties, parenting strain, intimacy worries, and issues around identity and coming out. He also supports career-related stress, anger, and coping after loss. He frames work as a collaboration where the client sets goals and Brandon offers methods to reach them.
Sessions are described as 30 minute increments on his scheduling page; confirm current session lengths and formats before booking. Brandon offers services in English and practices in Utah.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s goals. Online sessions let the therapist and client use that conversation time to set aims and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits through concrete exercises and homework, which can be assigned and reviewed between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills; those skills are practiced in session and then applied to everyday situations.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Brandon will talk with each person about goals, struggles, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. That plan can change as progress is made, and the client helps decide what fits best.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed here. Online counseling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when a full session isn’t needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows for using exercises such as breathing practice, mindfulness, or brief skills coaching during a normal workday or study break. Confirm available session lengths and how they’re delivered when you schedule.
