Brandon Woffinden , LCMHC

Brandon Woffinden is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) who combines a calm, practical style with a commitment to supporting people through difficult transitions. He earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix in 2012 and spent ten years working in law enforcement before moving into counseling. That background informs his focus on resilience and practical coping strategies for people facing stress and trauma.

Brandon most often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), adapting techniques from multiple therapeutic schools to fit each person's needs. He uses tools such as mindfulness and meditation, emotional freedom techniques, breathing exercises, and cognitive reframing to help clients manage symptoms and build new skills. He also supports clients who are exploring their own spiritual paths as part of healing and personal growth.

He has experience helping people with anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and loss, and first responder resiliency. Prospective clients can visit his scheduling page to book sessions, which are offered in 30-minute increments. Brandon approaches therapy with encouragement and steady support, helping people take the steps they need to feel more capable and grounded.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Support

Brandon frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms. CBT is goal-oriented and often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day coping challenges.

He also applies dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can be especially useful for people struggling with intense emotions or relationship challenges.

Client-centered principles guide his approach as well, creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's priorities shape the work. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process - Brandon and the client work together to choose methods that fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals may adapt techniques over time as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, and other commitments. These formats provide flexibility and consistent access to care for people who prefer remote sessions or need to balance therapy with a busy life.
