More about Brandon

- LMHC
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Indiana with 6 years of professional work experience. I help clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, confidence, and depression.
If we decide to work together we will become a team. We will identify treatment objectives to help us achieve your goals and we will adjust our strategies as we make progress. I am always open to feedback from my clients about the goals we are working on, my approach to the therapy process, and how my clients are feeling about therapy in general.
I look forward to understanding your perspective in how we are working together. I often work with people from many cultural and life backgrounds and look forward to seeing how to incorporate that into our work as well. Together we will combine my skills as a therapist with your strengths and experiences as a person and work to build the life you want.
My personality is calm and easy going. I enjoy laughing at myself. I am comfortable in both more structured approaches to therapy sessions as well as more conversational styles of therapy. Sometimes we will discuss the things you're experiencing in your life, sometimes past experiences, and sometimes we will focus on the tools and strategies I can teach you. Together we will explore how to integrate these techniques into your life and examine the experiences you have as you work toward your goals.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! It is understandable and acceptable if you're not sure what therapy is and how it works, I can answer any questions you have. I look forward to connecting with you and exploring how our time together can build the future you want. Change is possible, healing does happen, and it would be an honor and a privilege to join you in your journey to the life you want.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a 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.

Brandon is a good listener and allows you to tailor your therapy however you feel comfortable.
He has been amazing.
Brandon is very empathetic and makes me feel heard. He has a lot of good ideas and really seems to try to listen to what I am saying but yet challenge me to see other perspectives as well.
Easy to talk to. Understanding
So far, I have enjoyed my time with Brandon as my matched therapist. He has been very cordial, understanding, and has been good to be able to bounce my thoughts, ideas, and issues off of.
Brandon understands. Which is not to say he agrees with everything I say! He's honest and fair and encouraging which is exactly what I need. Good match, thank you.
Great availability and initial approach - super easy to talk to and to work with!
Brandon has been very professional and attentive. He reaches out periodically to check in on how things are going. Have only had one scheduled appt. at this point but so far so good.
