About Brandon

Brandon Bunker is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. He works with men and others navigating identity and intimacy concerns, including LGBTQ matters and issues tied to sex and kink. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk honestly about what hurts and what they want to change.

Brandon uses straightforward, client-focused methods to help people build more satisfying relationships and better self-understanding. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thoughts and increase valued action. Attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas guide work on closeness, trust, and patterns that repeat across relationships.

Over eleven years in practice Brandon has supported clients facing trauma, substance use concerns, caregiving stress, and career pressure. He also works with people dealing with parenting questions, fatherhood issues, and family-of-origin pain. His background includes helping those struggling with abandonment, codependency, and forgiveness work.

Sessions are collaborative and practical. Brandon often focuses on clearer communication, coping skills for intense emotions, and steps to reconnect with personal values. He helps people find concrete changes they can use between sessions.

Brandon holds licenses as an LCMHC in Utah and an LPC in Virginia. He offers services in English and does not accept international clients. To begin, clients use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

How Brandon’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values and small committed actions. It helps when people feel stuck by clarifying what matters and practicing steps that align with those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to see what works better in daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and helps people change how they relate to others and to themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brandon will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. He tailors sessions so techniques feel applicable to the client’s real-life problems and relationships.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, require less travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, and make it possible to join from different locations. Licensed professionals can still do deep, focused work over distance, including skills practice, emotion-focused conversations, and values-based planning. If you want to explore online sessions, confirm the available formats and schedule to see how they might fit your routine.
