About Brandon

Brandon Woffinden is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who focuses on men's wellbeing among a range of concerns. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, and mood struggles like depression and bipolar disorder. He also supports issues around self-esteem, intimacy, parenting challenges, and work-related stress.

He draws on ten years of clinical experience following a decade in law enforcement. Brandon uses practical exercises such as deep breathing, mindfulness, and cognitive reframing to reduce immediate distress. He often combines tools from different approaches to match the person in front of him.

Sessions routinely include skill practice and short, goal-focused conversations. Brandon commonly works with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to change unhelpful thinking and improve emotion regulation. He also uses client-centered ideas to keep conversations grounded in each person's values and pace.

Hypnotherapy and meditation are offered as additional tools for people who find them helpful. He also brings attention to spiritual questions when clients want to explore meaning and purpose as part of healing.

Brandon trained at the University of Phoenix, earning a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and holds an LCMHC. He practices in Utah and speaks English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step help connect someone to his sessions.

How Brandon’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and following the client’s lead. It helps people clarify goals and feel heard while they work through life changes or relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that are useful for intense feelings and impulsive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Brandon will work together with each person to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with skill-building from CBT or DBT, and adding mindfulness or hypnotherapy tools if those seem helpful.

For practical matters, confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and let people use guided practices like breathing or meditation from wherever they are. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit everyday life so progress continues between sessions.
