Brandon Woffinden, LCMHC

Brandon Woffinden is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. He also supports those coping with trauma, grief, addictions, ADHD, caregiver strain, and aging and geriatric issues. Brandon draws on a practical, steady style to guide people through difficult moments and decisions.

He spent ten years in law enforcement before completing a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix in 2012. That background shaped his calm, straightforward approach when talking about hard topics. He relies heavily on cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies, while also using mindfulness, breathing exercises, meditation, and emotional freedom techniques as tools.

Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills and small, sustainable steps. Brandon helps clients reframe unhelpful thoughts, practice emotional regulation, and build routines that reduce overwhelm. He also supports people who are exploring spiritual questions as part of their healing.

People working with him can expect a mix of short-term skills work and deeper conversations about meaning and values. Brandon notes experience with first responder resiliency, PTSD, grief and loss, and common mood disorders such as bipolar and depression. He aims to meet people where they are and tailor interventions to real-world needs.

To begin, he asks prospective clients to schedule through the Start Therapy flow and complete a short matching questionnaire. Sessions are arranged according to therapist availability and may vary in length and frequency.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Brandon commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people change patterns that cause stress. CBT focuses on identifying and reframing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can help with strong feelings and relationship struggles.

He also draws from client-centered principles, which emphasize listening, empathy, and building a collaborative relationship. Finding the right approach is part of the work together; the therapist will help determine which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and may combine techniques over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking since this profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find digital appointments helpful for maintaining consistency and accessing support from wherever they are located, while the therapist adjusts methods and pacing to suit each person’s circumstances.
