More about me

Hello, thank you for taking the time to view my profile! I appreciate the opportunity to get to know you! I have a passion for supporting and helping others and I want to let you know I honor your decision to seek help. I know this can be a scary experience but I want you to know that I will support you 100 percent. I believe the strongest people in the world are those brave enough to ask for help when they need it.

I received my masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix in 2012. The previous 10 years were spent in Law Enforcement. The modalities I use most are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). I utilize interventions from all schools of therapy depending on client need. Mindfulness, meditation, emotional freedom techniques, deep breathing and cognitive reframing are some of the tools I use to help my clients. I have a passion for working with people to discover their own personal spiritual path. I have experience working with individuals with anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and loss and first responder resiliency. Again, I would like to thank you for reviewing my profile. I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Excellent ideas such. A blessing to me

I love that you let me talk and you listen. I appreciate that you hold all questions until I am done telling my stories. Thank you so much!

Brandon has introduced me to a therapy method called EFT that I can use independently. It has changed my life! I value his knowledge and guidance. I will be forever in his debt. Now it is up to me, to become the best person I can possibly be and pay it forward!

Brandon made me feel safe during our sessions. I feel I was supported in our discussions. Thank you Brandon!

He is a very great therapist, very understanding and knowledgeable I would highly recommend him!

Brandon has been amazing in helping me and providing resources in order to help me even more. I'm very grateful to him for his help and empathetic approach.

He is great and has a lot of valuable advice.

I have found Brandon to be a very good listener. He is compassionate, and understanding about your individual situation. He has some excellent advice on how to view things from a different perspective. I look forward to growing more with future sessions.

Brandon is absolutely amazing!! I’ve been through many therapist that I just wasn’t comfortable with. He makes things so comfortable and very caring! He’s also very knowledgeable about everything.

Brandon is an excellent listener and empathizes well. He can recognize what to ask to work on issues in the moment

I am finding value in talking and seeing things from a different perspective.

My first time trying therapy was with Brandon, and at first I was very skeptical. But as I had more sessions with him, I really felt that he was listening to me and wanted to help.

Brandon was kind, understanding, and caring. What more can you ask for in a therapist?

Brandon is a kind and accepting therapist! He is easy to talk to and is absolutely non-judgemental. He will often check in and send uplifting quotes. He doesn't pressure you to make or keep appointments but he is happily and readily available whenever you need him.

Brandon is excellent. Love working with him

Things are awesome

He sees every aspect of every situation. He listens and gives his best advice. I never feel like he just takes my side, he always allows me to see things from every point of view.

When I started seeing Brandon in March of 2021 I felt like my life was in complete chaos. One of my kids has severe depression. She battles with suicidal ideations and has made several attempts on her life throughout the year. That, mixed with the stress from my job, and other stresses in life was almost unbearable for me to deal with. I felt like I should be a strong enough person to deal with everything and that I was failing at being a mother and a person in general. What I didn't realize is how many traumatic things I was dealing with at once that were not in my control, or how many stressful things I was dealing with at once, and that maybe it was time to pull the breaks on some stuff-- and Brandon helped me realize these things, and helped me process these situations. I had sessions with Brandon for 7 months. During that time, the help he provided enabled me to face the stressors, anxiety, and flood of emotions that I was experiencing in life. As a result, I feel like I have healthier and more realistic takes on life. Brandon took the time to really hear my problems and stressful situations, and give meaningful feedback, techniques, and resources to cope with my life struggles (tapping, mental pauses, primary/secondary fear responses, grief stages, link to a comprehensive website dedicated to helpful links and info). My life has fortunately smoothed out now, but I know if I ever am in a stressful spot again, there are tools and techniques to help me, aside from what I have already learned. I fully recommend trying Brandon as your talk therapist. I am forever grateful to him for helping me get back to a good place mentally. He is professional but very down to earth, and I felt like I could tell him anything and he would be helpful and supportive. Thank you so much, Brandon!

Brandon is super helpful. And possess many tools to help with different issues in life.

Very helpful, caring, and experienced!

He is Kind and Happy. I felt better after my last appointment with him.

Brandon has been great to work with!

The meetings are kind-of short but I like him and appreciate his input.

He has been very supportive and understanding of the issues I have told him about. He provides wonderful responses and is always looking for ways to help me.

Very good listener

Brandon is knowledgeable and compassionate. I feel he genuinely cares about me.

Was very pleasant to talk to

He’s been excellent to work with thus far. He’s attentive and has a very warm demeanor.

I think Brandon was a good therapist. I left him and then came back, but have to unfortunately leave again. Me leaving had nothing with Him specifically, I just need to work with someone that specializes in severe mood/ personality disorders greater than simply depression and anxiety. I would totally recommend someone to work with Brandon if they are going through a rough time. I recommend Brandon for anyone needing help or simply need a guide through life.

Brandon is a great listener and really encourages self love!

he’s awesome

Brandon is amazingly helpful, knowledgeable and supportive. He goes out of his way to check in with me and make sure I have plenty of live time to process stuff together.

So far he has been great!

Great help. I really appreciate Brandon and his work.

Brandon is great. He listens well and gives me the advice I need. Including doing some mindfulness meditation during our session.

Thanks for listening to me and responding to me.

Brandon has been helpful in assisting me in looking at my problem through a fresh set of eyes. He has unique experiences that he brings to the therapy table to aide his clients in achieving their goals.

Brandon is giving me a new perspective and has been very helpful.

He is so nice. I appreciate his advice and he takes the time to listen

Brandon is thoughtful, and creates unique and helpful therapy experiences. He is quick to engage and respond in all the formats offered. He reaches out unprompted to check in periodically. He is passionate about helping in many areas and he also is great to provide tools and homework for outside the session. He’s very caring and you can tell he enjoys this work. He feels trustworthy and open, nonjudgmental as well.

I have never done therapy before so I feel like I’m still learning how to ask questions and talk freely but I have absolutely trusted Brandon and feel comfortable with him. He has given me some great tools to help me so far.

I feel listened to, and some of my fears and doubts I about myself have been eased.

Brandon has been very helpful to me. He provides tools and worksheets to help. He is very kind and I feel safe talking to him.

He is incredible and is a treasure to be cherished. Such a heart warming soul in this man and adept at his craft.

Brandon has helped me SOOO much in so many ways. I am so much more connected to who I truly am as a person now and I have him to thank for introducing me to the wonderful coping mechanism called "tapping"!!!! I would recommend him to everyone! Thank you so much for the work that you do, Brandon! You're fantastic!

Brandon has opened my eyes in a way I wouldn't have thought to look at life. After being medicated for severe depression and anxiety for years, I thought I would just feel the way I do forever, that it was normal. Now I've learned to embrace my feelings as a learning experience, and that it's okay to feel the emotions as they come, and not be ashamed or feel guilty. It has given a more positive outlook on life, because I now know that these shall pass, and I will be okay. I just need to hold on. I highly recommend Brandon, he is caring, doesn't judge, and I feel so comfortable telling him anything. Don't hesitate to improve your life.

Brandon is absolutely phenomenal. He is very good about checking in on me periodically just to see how I'm doing. I was very skeptical of doing online therapy but Brandon has removed all doubts that I had. He is very kind, compassionate, and understanding of what I have been through. He has also made it a point to let me know that therapy is my journey and he is here to support me through it. I know I will continue visiting with Brandon for the foreseeable future. If you are looking for a therapist, look no further!

I recognize that I am not an ideal client, in that I don't check in super regularly and I have failed to take advantage of the many different ways to connect with my counselor that have been offered to me. That being said, I feel like Brandon has my back. He consistently checks in with me, he seems invested in our conversations even if I email a big long rant then disappear for a week, and his responses have been rich with empathy and compassion without making me feel like I'm being "handled". I feel grateful to have Brandon as a resource and have recommended BetterHelp to my peers based on my experience with him.

I like how he checks in with me and listens. He's offered helpful tips for me to use.

Brandon has been nothing but great. He is easy going, easy to talk to, always has a welcoming tone, and always has suggestions on ways to cope with what me and my family are going through.

he seems to care about the person and checks in on you

I love that Brandon has been sending gentle check ins. I love that he wasn’t ruffled by my long absence, that he’s been asking questions to help him understand where I am at and support me. I wasn’t sure if I should continue this service, because I am seeing a therapist in person, but I found it comforting to message Brandon and tell him what I’ve been doing and working on. I felt very supported and I feel positive about continuing to talk to Brandon.

Brandon is very understanding and gave me a new perspective of what I was going through. It helped me to find the confidence I needed to keep moving forward! He also gave me tools to use when I'm feeling down. Overall, very kind and helpful!

Brandon has been extremely helpful with my issues. He takes his time to listen to me and makes suggestions that will be very helpful to get me to where I need to be as a good person. I highly recommend Brandon. I thank God that he was placed in my life.

Helpful, caring, and supportive!

Brandon Woffinden has given me helpful tools and practices to help with my anxiety and depression. He listens and validates my experiences. I would highly recommend Him.

I have had two live sessions with Brandon, he is compassionate and appropriately emphatic. He responds quickly. He introduced me to tapping which has been life-changing for me. Brandon understands trauma and gives me direct exercises to assist me in moving trauma out of my body. I am a work in process, but so far very satisfied with the care I am receiving.

Brandon is always encouraging me and supporting me. I really appreciate his perspective on life

It is still pretty early in the counseling process, but Brandon has already been attentive and responsive. He checks in on me, which I appreciate because it isn't always easy to reach out (or even to remember that I have this resource available to me!)

Brandon has helped me significantly, even within just a few sessions he has helped me! He’s very knowledgeable and willing to listen to whatever concerns you may have.

Brandon validates ad listens when needed and offers tools when ranting won't help. Tapping, guided meditation, visualization, book recommendations, breathwork, and Reiki are some of the things that have been helpful in repatterning old habits and filling in the holes left by years of trauma. I like how he doesn't try to make it seem like he knows all about everything, and he has an open and frank demeanor that leaves space for mutual respect, even if he might not have the same viewpoint or struggles.

Brandon is very caring and understanding. He has a lot of great advice! Great counselor!

Brandon is excellent. He is a great listener and offers all the right advice at the right times. He also checks in throughout the week. Super nice.

He is a very kind man. He isn't pushy and doesn't probe for answers, he is gentle and sweet.

Brandon is an awesome therapist. He reaches out to me when we haven’t talked in a while to make sure things are good. He has listened to me and made me feel like my concerns are valid.

My therapist is caring and concerned and empathetic. He also provides a lot when it comes to meditation and relaxation!

Brandon is wonderful! Extremely attentive, warm and open. Very grateful for his help!

Brandon has been so amazing! So helpful and kind! He genuinely listens and cares and that’s important to me!

Brandon is very supportive counselor, I appreciate that he checks in with me during the week.

Good listener and compassionate.

Brandon has been amazing in his approach to help me with my concerns and issues. I am forever grateful for his counseling. Thank you Brandon

It took a bit to find Mr. Woffinden but I am glad I did. He’s very supportive and you can tell he actually cares.

He is very kind and is very timely when responding. He doesn’t know me personally and still puts my best interest first

Brandon has been very good to help me find what I need to work on to help myself, and he has worked with me on my goals. He has not been pushy, and has allowed me to lead where I felt like we needed to go.

Brandon is very kind. He is very easy to talk to and validates my feelings very well! he’s been great so far, and i can’t wait to keep working with him.

Quick response, great listener. Recommends books and other positive reading material. Informative and supportive

It's refreshing to have attentive replies when I need them. Brandon has provided me tangible tools that I could put into my daily practice right away. He checks in with me, holding me accountable in doing the work I need to do. It's my life coach just a text away! Love it. Tools: goal worksheet, thought worksheet

Working with Brandon has taught me to work on self worth and doing the little things. I've also learned not to feeling feeling guilty about asking for help.

He's understanding in so many different ways and willing to work with me on what ever I need to and doesn't judge or make me feel stupid.

He checks up on me all the time he knows that I find comfort in quotes and he sends them to me! He lets me vent and then helps me find perspective!:)

Very kind hearted and gives thoughtful answers and responses. He listens and allows you to lead the conversation.

Brandon has been extremely helpful and compassionate. He responds quickly and with relevant and useful responses (which hasn’t always been the case for me with online therapy). He does so much more than just listen, although he listens very well. He has provided valuable insight and outside recommendations that I can do on my own and he follows up. The book that he recommended has really opened my eyes and helped change my perspective. He challenges some of the negative ways I am thinking and helps to identify some of my mental blind spots. I would highly recommend him to a friend!

I’ve been working with Brandon for about 2 weeks now. He has suggested some great books, one of which I have already finished! He’s also recommended some different coping techniques such as EFT, and Holotropic breath work. Excited to keep working on myself and finding my own path to spirituality and healing.

Brandon is lovely and supportive!

So far Brandon has been very helpful and understanding with my personal issues and I feel really safe and comfortable speaking with him. He is not pushy or domineering and seems to have a very light, gentle, respectful presence about him that I really appreciate. He also has a lot of insight and references for things that pertain to my issues. Wonderful therapist.

Brandon has been great to work with!!! He always checks in, and provides a lot of coping skills to help me!

Brandon has helped me understand how to cope with my anxiety. He had helped so much already and it feels good to know I have someone who can help with my mental health.

Brandon, so far, has been great. its still early, and i have a lot more to get through, but so far he's doing a great job in listening and helping me through. Its also nice to have someone to talk to about my issues that knows how to respond with more that just "Im sorry" or end in awkward silence. My depression is very up and down, so on my downs i will need him more than my ups.

I love Brandon, he is the reason I stayed on the app, I had another person treat me poorly, and Brandon redeemed the platform for me.

Brandon has been a great help! Even if I don't respond in a couple of days due to being busy, I know he will always respond when I send another message. He's quick to respond and gives me good worksheets to work through and identify problems I may have but also identify what I'm doing right. He's a really good guy!

Brandon is responsive, and I really appreciate that. But from our first visit via video I saw something in his face that I haven't seen from counselors in the past - compassion. I appreciate the BetterHelp platform and model. It's a cool way to do counseling. But Brandon is making it work because he cares.

I feel like a new person. The things that I've always wanted to do seem possible!! I'm so optimistic and I'm so grateful for the tools Brandon introduced to me. Thank you!
