About Brandon
Brandon Thoma is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people feel more balanced and fulfilled. He centers care on each person and aims to offer steady support while clients work toward goals.

He draws on client-centered methods while using cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness practices. Those approaches guide practical steps such as noticing thought patterns, testing small changes, and practicing calm skills.
Background and approach
Brandon also incorporates elements from Jungian thought and motivational interviewing when they fit the situation. Brandon has eight years of experience in mental health and holds a Master of Arts in Counseling from Missouri Baptist University. He trained in psychology at Southeast Missouri State for his undergraduate degree.
He is licensed as an LPC in Missouri and practices with that credential. People come to him for help with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship struggles, and issues around self-esteem. He also works with concerns such as addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and body image issues, ADHD, and challenges tied to work or parenting.
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical skills. Brandon aims to teach tools clients can use between meetings and to adjust plans as progress is made. He prefers a collaborative style that keeps the person’s priorities at the center.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what they hear, and helps clients steer sessions toward what matters most to them. This approach is useful when someone wants a supportive, respectful space to sort feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It uses simple experiments and skill practice to change unhelpful patterns. That method often helps with anxiety, stress, and low mood by teaching concrete tools to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brandon will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts plans over time and combines techniques when that makes sense for the client’s situation.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face from different places. Phone sessions can be a good option when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when written communication feels more comfortable. These options offer flexibility and let people keep momentum between meetings.
