Brandon Bunker, LCMHC, LPC

Brandon Bunker is a licensed counselor who helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, trauma, and identity questions. He brings 11 years of clinical experience and holds the LCMHC and LPC credentials, and he practices in Utah. Brandon aims to make therapy a practical place to try new ways of coping and to rebuild connection and meaning.

In sessions he uses plain language and a steady, respectful tone. Conversations focus on real problems like managing overwhelm, improving communication, handling intimacy-related issues, and navigating parenting or career changes. He supports people dealing with addiction, compassion fatigue, or the aftermath of abuse in ways that fit their day-to-day lives.

Brandon draws from several approaches to tailor work to each person. He leans on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, uses attachment ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings, and practices client-centered listening to follow the client's lead. He also draws on acceptance and commitment methods and emotionally focused ideas when those fit the goals.

Practical skills and small experiments are common parts of his work. Clients can expect coaching on communication, exercises for emotional regulation, and steps to rebuild trust after loss or separation. Brandon also addresses niche areas such as BDSM and kink culture, fatherhood concerns, codependency, and forgiveness work.

He encourages straightforward planning for life transitions and coping with large-scale stressors. To get started clients use the continue button on this profile, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and invites action toward what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making values-based changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotions; it can help people improve closeness, reduce fear of abandonment, and repair trust. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and uses empathic listening so clients can find their own solutions and build self-acceptance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods to fit each person's needs. Clients and the therapist collaborate on which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Many people find online therapy easier to fit into busy lives because it reduces travel time and lets sessions happen around work, school, or caregiving duties. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or let someone choose a no-video option if they prefer not to use a camera. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available with this clinician.
