Brandon Woffinden , LCMHC

Brandon Woffinden is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who brings a blend of clinical training and real-world experience to his counseling practice. He earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix in 2012 after spending a decade working in law enforcement, a background that informs his work with first responders and trauma-related concerns.

He primarily draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), while integrating techniques from other therapeutic approaches as needed. Brandon uses practical tools such as mindfulness, meditation, emotional freedom techniques, deep breathing, and cognitive reframing to help clients manage symptoms and build coping skills.

Brandon has clinical experience supporting people facing anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and loss, and first responder resiliency. He also works with a wide range of issues including addictions, relationship and family challenges, parenting concerns, ADHD, and life transitions. He values helping clients explore personal meaning and spiritual pathways as part of healing and growth.

Brandon approaches each client with respect and a focus on collaboration, aiming to support people as they pursue change. Appointments can be scheduled through his online scheduling page, with sessions offered in 30-minute increments.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Brandon commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), an evidence-based method that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. CBT can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, stress management, and many behavioral challenges.

He also applies dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques, which focus on building skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT can help those struggling with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and patterns of impulsive behavior.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Brandon works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and needs and tailors a plan that may blend these approaches and other techniques to fit each person’s circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for receiving care. Clients can meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, attend from home or work, and maintain continuity of care even when life brings changes. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and support to these formats so therapy remains focused and effective.
