CBT-based care and flexible online therapy options

Brandon primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, problem-focused approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used to address anxiety, OCD symptoms, low mood, and stress by teaching skills for managing difficult thoughts, reducing avoidance, and building coping strategies.

Alongside CBT, Brandon emphasizes skills practice and collaborative planning so clients can apply new techniques to daily life. This involves setting small, measurable goals and experimenting with strategies between sessions to see what works best for each person, with the therapist adjusting the plan as needed.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier for clients to access consistent care without major scheduling or travel barriers. These options support flexibility for different needs and preferences, allowing work on skills in real time and continued support when life circumstances change. Brandon works collaboratively with clients to determine which format best supports their goals and routine.
