01About Brandon
Brandon Bunker is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He works with clients on LGBT-related issues, parenting strains, family conflict, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Brandon uses straightforward conversation and practical skills to help people feel less stuck.
He favors a client-centered style that starts with listening and building trust. From there he adds tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
He also draws on acceptance and commitment strategies to help people clarify values and take manageable steps toward them. Attachment-based ideas shape his work on relationship problems and intimacy. That means examining how early bonding and patterns show up now, and practicing new ways to connect.
Emotionally focused techniques are used when couples or individuals need help naming and working through strong feelings. Brandon brings 11 years of clinical experience and holds LCMHC and LPC credentials. He sees clients in Utah and offers multiple online session formats, including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
Sessions are delivered in English. He aims for practical progress. Typical sessions include checking current goals, practicing a skill or strategy, and planning one small step to try between meetings.
Brandon encourages questions and makes treatment choices with each person, not for them.

04Online support
Approaches you can use in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current closeness and trust, and uses exercises to build safer ways of connecting in relationships.Brandon treats approach selection as a team decision. He will talk with each person about their goals, try out methods that make sense, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to find the right mix of techniques for emotions, relationships, and behavior change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you see nonverbal cues and do exercises that need face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you need a focused check-in. Live chat and texting make brief check-ins, homework review, and ongoing support easier to fit into a busy day. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit work, caregiving, and other commitments.
