Brandon's main areas of focus are anxiety, fear, depression, and stress. These are all things that many people experience at some point in their lives. They are also typical of existential and spiritual crises. Existentialism in the context of counseling refers to finding meaning in life, especially when questions start to arise. Questions about personal values and sense of direction are common. These questions can be become especially frequent during major life transitions like starting or ending relationships, jobs, and geographical moves.
His experience is wide-ranging and includes private practice, employee assistance, and drug and alcohol settings. His counseling style is humanistic, person-centered. As such, he takes a non-judgmental approach that seeks to meet people where they are and to help them articulate what they’re experiencing including potential solutions for issues needing resolution. This point of view assumes that the therapist is not an expert on the person seeking help, but an assistant on the journey of self-discovery. Brandon has extensive experience in counseling individuals, couples, and families. He enjoys traveling and has lived in and visited over 30 countries. He’s an avid sports fan who also enjoys exercise, hiking, and reading.

Just from the few sessions we’ve had - I have a weight off my shoulders having a support system like Brandon. I’ve always had difficulty opening up about my personal issues - but I’ve found him very easy to communicate with and have actively installed many of his recommendations in my life which I’ve seen a positive impact with. I’m very grateful for our sessions we’ve had together!

I've never had counseling before but have struggled with OCD all my life. Brandon has been a counselor who really takes the time to listen and understand what I'm trying to express which can be hard at times with compulsive thoughts. More than just listen, he has already helped me approach my obstacles in ways that have completely changed my mindset and view of what has owned me most my life. I've already seen progress just after a short time with Brandon and am very happy to have been matched with him through BetterHelp.
Written on Apr 29, 2020 after therapy with Brandon for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and self esteem
I was a bit uncertain of how effective online therapy would be in comparison to physically going to a therapists office. However, I was matched with a therapist that seems to understand my needs well and is very responsive to the online chat when I need to discuss something between scheduled sessions. I would recommend Brandon as a counselor and have had a very positive experience with online therapy and I believe that is because I had a great therapist working with me that shows genuine concern for the people he works with.

Brandon is a wonderful counselor. He listens and asks good questions. He has challenged my way of thinking by just asking a question and letting me work through the issue at my own pace.

Brandon has been the best person I have spoken to about my personal issues. I appreciate how he dedicates his time to actually listen and give advice when necessary. He is very professional in his manner and attitude, but is open to speaking very casually too.I feel like he gently pushes you into the direction you yourself choose to go, he's there if you need help. But he doesn't over do it, which I find is also very important and healthy for both ends. I recommend him to those who need someone to help listen/ organise their thoughts, assist them in tracking goals, or need a little push to get through their week :)

Brandon is exceptional. He is able to find strengths and use those to his better ability to help his client. Also, since he is familiar with the area in which I live, he has been a great resource to recommend other people who may be of a benefit.

Brandon was very patient and he had a habit of rephrasing what I said so I could pretty much confirm whether or not that is exactly what I was feeling or wanted to say. He always responded timely and never made me feel judged. He never seemed annoyed especially when I came across a little snippy myself. I would recommend him.
