About Brandon
Brandon Bunker is a licensed counselor who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues related to LGBTQ identity. He practices from Utah and brings 11 years of clinical experience to his work. Brandon aims to make conversations feel calm and direct, so clients can start addressing what matters most to them.
He uses straightforward, client-centered methods that focus on what each person needs.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clearer communication, managing strong emotions, and building self-esteem. He also helps people facing addiction, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and career transitions. Brandon draws on a mix of evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused work, and cognitive behavioral ideas.
He combines those with relationship tools such as the Gottman Method to address communication and connection problems. The result is a flexible style that matches tools to the situation rather than relying on a single method. In sessions he listens first, then offers practical steps clients can try between meetings.
That might include communication exercises, values-based actions, and strategies to reduce avoidance or negative thinking. He pays attention to patterns that come from family of origin, abandonment, or attachment wounds, and helps people create new ways of relating. Brandon offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Sessions are conducted in English and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support
Approaches for online connection and relationship work
Brandon commonly blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside relationship-focused tools like the Gottman Method. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take small actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people form more supported ways of relating. The Gottman Method offers specific communication exercises and routines that help repair conflict and improve closeness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Brandon will discuss your goals and preferences, try methods that match your situation, and adjust as you progress. He aims to build a plan together rather than impose a single style.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients share thoughts between sessions and get quick support when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving routines.
