Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at making small, usable changes that add up over time. He has eight years of clinical experience as a licensed clinical social worker. That experience includes supporting people with obsessive-compulsive symptoms and severe anxiety, and working with mood disorders and panic attacks.
He frames treatment as collaborative and focused on what the person wants to change. In sessions Brandon talks through specific strategies, sets achievable goals, and practices skills together. He also helps people plan for real-world situations that cause stress or avoidance.
Progress is tracked in simple, measurable steps so people can see what’s working. For practical needs, he offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.

How Brandon Uses CBT Online
Brandon primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and mood concerns because it teaches step-by-step coping skills.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Brandon works with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and comfort level. He adjusts pace and tools based on what the person needs and how they respond to exercises and practice between sessions.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want quick check-ins between sessions, or need flexible timing. These options support continuing work on anxiety, OCD symptoms, and stress without having to travel to appointments.
