Brandon Woffinden

Brandon Woffinden is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with ten years of helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and trauma. He works with individuals facing grief, relationship and intimacy worries, parenting strain, ADHD, and challenges related to caregiving or chronic illness. He aims to create a straightforward, respectful space where people can talk through what matters most to them.

Brandon blends practical skills with a calm, direct approach. He often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior strategies to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. He also draws on client-centered methods to follow a person's priorities and hypnotherapy and mindfulness exercises when those tools fit a person's goals.

He earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix in 2012. Before counseling, he spent ten years in law enforcement, experience he uses to relate to people who face high-stress jobs or trauma. That background also informs his work with first responder resilience and related concerns.

Sessions focus on practical tools such as breathing, meditation, emotional freedom techniques, and cognitive reframing. Brandon helps people set clear, achievable steps toward their goals and coaches them through changes in work, relationships, and mood. He encourages clients to explore spiritual or personal meaning when that matters to them.

Brandon practices in Utah and offers care in English. If someone wants to begin, the process is to choose Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

How Brandon’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. Online sessions using this approach let people guide the conversation while the therapist reflects and helps them clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to notice and change thinking and behavior patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, and stress. Online CBT often uses structured conversations and homework to build new habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal skills, which can help when feelings feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Brandon collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. He adapts tools like breathing exercises, cognitive reframing, and mindfulness to a client’s needs and checks in frequently to see what is helping.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate online therapy because it can fit into busy schedules, cut down on travel time, and make it easier to keep regular check-ins between work or caregiving responsibilities. Online sessions also allow for shorter focused meetings if a quick skill practice or coaching check-in is needed.
