He works with clients on issues tied to identity, addiction, parenting, career shifts, and compassion fatigue.

His background includes helping people sort through family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and the effects of trauma and loss.

Emotion and Action in Online Therapy

Brandon uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name intense feelings and see how those feelings affect relationships and behavior. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then choose actions that match their values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brandon treats the choice of methods as collaborative. He listens to goals, tries approaches, and adjusts plans based on what helps the client make steady progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are, phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier on the go, live chat and text can suit quick check-ins or reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and other commitments.
