About Damon
Damon Bryan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Utah with 21 years of experience. He focuses on common household and relationship concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges.
He helps people name problems and set practical goals together. Sessions tend to be collaborative and straightforward. Damon works with individuals and draws on marital and family therapy perspectives when it helps the work.
His approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and adjust behaviors, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma-related symptoms. He also uses the Gottman Method concepts for relationship patterns and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity.
Damon emphasizes building a working relationship first. He discusses goals with each person and adjusts methods to fit those goals. He does not promise outcomes but focuses on practical steps people can take between sessions to reduce daily stress and improve interactions at home.
People who come for help with adoption or foster-care stresses, attachment questions, blended family issues, caregiver strain, chronic illness, or fatherhood concerns will find those topics listed among his focus areas. He also notes experience with eating and intimacy-related issues, grief, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

How sessions work
How Damon uses proven approaches in remote sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot patterns of thinking that increase stress or worsen moods and then try concrete behavior changes to test new ways of coping. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. It can help when anger, impulsive behaviors, or relationship reactivity are getting in the way. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused approach that works with distressing memories and associated reactions to reduce their intensity over time.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Damon treats that as a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust tactics based on how things are progressing.
