How online sessions are structured
Brandon integrates several therapeutic approaches into online work to suit different concerns and goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and support committed action in daily life, while Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. These approaches are explained in straightforward terms and adapted to the online setting.
For relationship and attachment issues, Brandon draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to explore relational patterns and emotional responses. For clients working through traumatic memories or intense distress, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be part of the work when clinically appropriate. Sessions emphasize collaboration; Brandon and the client identify which methods fit current needs and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing different formats for skill practice, check-ins, and deeper therapeutic work depending on the client’s preference.
