About Brandon

Background and approach
Brandon draws on Existential therapy to examine values and life choices and uses Client-Centered methods to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when clients want concrete skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Brandon's background includes work in crisis units and neuropsychology settings, and he has developed group programs at an Alzheimer's disease assistance center.
He has been involved in research on topics like attachment, mood, and gender-based violence, and he has presented findings at academic meetings. That mix of clinical and research experience informs a thoughtful, curious approach. Sessions are practical and collaborative.
Brandon aims to help people notice patterns, try small experiments, and make decisions that match their values. He can use mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques when those fit a person's goals. People who prefer direct conversation with an empathic clinician will find his style approachable.
Brandon frames therapy as a process of discovery and change that respects each person's unique story.

Online support
Approach and options for online therapy
Brandon commonly blends Existential therapy and Client-Centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy depending on a person's needs. Existential therapy involves talking about life choices, values, and meaning to help people clarify what matters and find direction when life feels confusing. Client-Centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a respectful relationship so clients feel heard and accepted. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers hands-on techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that can reduce anxiety, panic, or depressive symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Brandon will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. He often mixes meaning-focused conversation with CBT skills or mindfulness practices when that combination seems useful.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video can be useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports shorter, ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
