About Brandon
Brandon Bunker is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Utah with 11 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, LGBTQ concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and parenting. He also addresses addictions, family problems, self-esteem, career stress, and coping with life changes.
Brandon uses a straightforward, client-centered way of working. He listens for what matters most and helps people name what’s getting in the way. Sessions often involve practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and making decisions that fit the person’s life.
His background includes work with clients facing attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, fatherhood concerns, and caregiver stress. He also has experience with kink and alternative sex culture topics, substance use issues, and the effects of trauma on relationships. That experience informs a down-to-earth approach to difficult or stigmatised topics.
In sessions Brandon mixes evidence-based tools and relational work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps with patterns of thinking and behavior. Emotion-focused work addresses painful feelings and relationship interactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports moving toward valued action despite hard emotions.
People who come to him for help get practical strategies they can try between sessions. He encourages clear communication, realistic steps, and steady problem-solving. To begin, readers are asked to use the site’s matching tool to schedule a first appointment and complete the brief questionnaire.
How sessions work
Approach to online sessions and therapeutic methods
Brandon draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas in his work. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and then choosing actions that match what matters most. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress when people want tools to live by their values despite hard feelings.Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current patterns. It can help people understand why they respond a certain way in close relationships and try new interaction patterns to feel more connected and less reactive.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brandon treats that as a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try approaches that fit the issue, and adjust based on what is helpful over time.
