About Brandon
Brandon Bunker is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and issues around identity and intimacy. He works from Utah and brings 11 years of clinical experience to conversations about relationships, parenting, self-esteem, and major life changes. His sessions aim to be warm and nonjudgmental.
He focuses on listening first, then gently guiding clients toward clearer goals. Brandon uses plain language and practical exercises so people can try things between sessions.
Background and approach
He draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current relationships. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy depending on what fits a person’s needs. These approaches are used to address emotional pain, communication problems, and challenges with closeness or boundaries.
Brandon often helps people sort out family-of-origin issues, abandonment concerns, codependency, and problems tied to caregiving or fatherhood. He also works with intimacy-related matters including kink and alternative sex culture, and supports those dealing with forgiveness, emptiness, or career stress. Sessions combine talk, skill practice, and emotion-focused work.
Brandon aims to help people build better communication, stronger self-compassion, and clearer direction in life. The focus is practical change that feels manageable for daily life.

Online support
How attachment and ACT translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can be used to notice how connections form now and to practice new ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and commit to values-based actions; in digital sessions clients learn short exercises to use in daily life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a respectful space for personal discovery, which can feel consistent across video or phone work.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust as work unfolds. That means experimenting together until the approach feels useful and manageable.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for emotion-focused work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused communication. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around daily life while using the approaches that match each person’s needs.
