Brandon Woffinden, LCMHC

Brandon Woffinden, LCMHC, helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and related concerns. He writes in a direct, caring way and invites people to take the first step toward change. His tone is straightforward and encouraging for someone who may be nervous about starting therapy.

He draws on ten years of experience and uses tools from several approaches. Brandon often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors, and dialectical behavior therapy for building coping skills. He also incorporates mindfulness, meditation, emotional freedom techniques, deep breathing, and cognitive reframing tailored to what each person needs.

Brandon earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix and holds the LCMHC credential. Before counseling, he spent a decade in law enforcement, and that background informs his practical, solution-minded style. He mentions work with anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and first responder resiliency among his experience.

Sessions are organized in short, focused increments and aim to teach skills people can use right away. Brandon encourages exploring personal values and spiritual paths when clients want that included. He writes with appreciation for the courage it takes to reach out and offers steady support through change.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship, letting the person lead the topics while the therapist offers empathy and gentle guidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and building skills for better day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit the client’s goals and needs. That means experimenting, adjusting, and combining tools so sessions feel useful and relevant.

The biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, or make it easier to have a shorter check-in when needed. Online work can make it simpler to practice skills like breathing or mindfulness in real time and bring life situations into conversation for immediate problem solving.
