02 · In Brandon's own words

What Brandon says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

I'm a therapist with eight years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life challenges. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, and addiction, and I'm passionate about helping people build self-esteem, process life transitions, and discover their sense of purpose.

My approach is grounded in creating a safe, affirming space where you can explore who you are and what matters most to you. I specialize in supporting clients with communication difficulties, social anxiety, isolation, body image concerns, and sexuality-related questions. I also work with men's issues, caregiver stress, and sex addiction with compassion and without judgment.

I believe in meeting clients where they are and tailoring my work to align with your values and identity. Whether you're working through self-love, navigating relationship dynamics, or finding your footing during times of change, I'm here to support your growth at your own pace.

Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and wholeness.

03 · How Brandon works

The 3 approaches Brandon lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Brandon lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Brandon's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Brandon runs a session.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

Motivational InterviewingMI

A way of talking about change with somebody who is genuinely in two minds about it. The therapist does not argue for the change; they help you say your own reasons out loud, which is the part that predicts whether it happens. Common around substance use and health behaviour.

Solution-Focused Brief TherapySFBT

Starts from where you want to end up rather than from how you got here. Sessions look for the times the problem is already smaller and work out what is different about those, so the number of sessions tends to be short and the work concrete.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Brandon practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Brandon's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Brandon at this point.

2. Naming Brandon specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Brandon is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Brandon.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

06 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Brandon's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Brandon. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
