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 works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, and concerns tied to sexual identity and intimacy. He also lists work with addictions, family and parenting concerns, and issues around self-esteem and life changes.
Brandon uses straightforward, person-focused work. Sessions concentrate on clear goals, improved communication, and practical coping skills. He leans on approaches that help people notice what matters, change unhelpful patterns, and repair important relationships.
His methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. That mix is used to address things like abandonment, attachment wounds, codependency, commitment questions, and recovery from substance use. He also notes experience with kink and alternative sex culture topics and fatherhood or parenting stress.
Brandon aims to help people who feel stuck by offering steady, direct work on patterns that keep them isolated or ashamed. He often focuses on communication, boundary setting, and repairing trust in relationships. Sessions involve talking through situations, learning different ways to respond, and practicing small changes between meetings.
For someone carrying guilt or shame about relationships, identity, or past actions, he frames therapy as a practical place to sort feelings and try new ways of relating. To begin, the usual first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the online options button.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for guilt, chronic worry, and decisions about relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change those patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and unhelpful self-beliefs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns learned early in life and works on improving connection and trust in current relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with clients to try methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean blending ACT with attachment work for shame tied to relationships, or using CBT skills alongside emotionally-focused techniques for intimacy concerns.
The original profile did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions fit into their schedules more easily and can reduce time spent traveling. Online meetings can make it simpler to check in during a break at work, have shorter follow-ups, or avoid being on camera if that helps focus on the conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment work to the online setting so that therapy can fit into everyday life while addressing guilt, shame, and relationship patterns.
