About Brandon
Brandon Bunker is a licensed counselor who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. He works with clients navigating identity and LGBTQ matters, addiction, parenting strain, and career or life changes. Brandon holds the LCMHC and LPC and brings 11 years of clinical experience to his practice.
He takes a practical, down-to-earth approach in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small, useful steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Brandon listens closely and adapts methods to match each person's needs and goals. Systemic ideas shape much of his work - looking at how relationships and patterns affect feelings and behavior. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed techniques to help people build clearer values and steadier connections.
Cognitive Behavioral tools are used when helpful to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions often include skill practice, communication coaching, and planning for real-life situations. Brandon pays attention to issues like abandonment, codependency, intimacy and kink-related concerns, fatherhood and family of origin problems.
He aims to make therapy practical and relevant to daily life. People who choose him can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere. The focus is on increasing resilience, improving relationships, and creating manageable steps toward the life someone wants.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Systemic work looks at patterns between people and how those patterns shape emotional life. Online sessions can identify recurring interactions, communication habits, and role expectations and then practice new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters most and take small committed actions toward those values, often using short exercises and homework that adapt well to video or messaging formats. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early connections affect current relationships and uses discussion and reflective exercises to help people notice and change interactional patterns.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to find techniques that feel useful and realistic for everyday life.
Online formats offer flexibility: video calls let people have a fuller conversational experience, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or a quiet camera-free check-in is preferred, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work while traveling, or choose the format that feels most comfortable for practicing new skills.
