About Brandon
Brandon Barton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, relationship struggles, and issues related to identity and addiction.
Background and approach
He brings 11 years of clinical experience that include crisis and inpatient behavioral health settings, neuropsychology and memory-care program development, and work in crisis stabilization units. His background blends direct clinical care with research and program work, giving him familiarity with complex presentations such as co-morbidity, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue.
Brandon uses evidence-informed methods to support clients through life transitions, grief, attachment concerns, and persistent patterns like obsessive thoughts or panic attacks. His practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral approaches alongside client-centered and existential perspectives to explore meaning, behavior, and coping strategies.
He has also applied therapeutic tools in group program settings and contributed to research on trauma, attachment, and cultural experiences, bringing both practical skills and a thoughtful interest in how people process difficult events.
Clients can expect an approachable clinician who values collaboration and tailors interventions to individual goals, whether the focus is symptom management, relationship repair, or rebuilding resilience after loss or adversity.
Approaches That Guide Online Sessions
Brandon often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then practice concrete skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, and depression. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a collaborative, empathetic space where the client’s perspective and goals shape the work. These approaches are useful for challenges such as mood disorders, compulsive patterns, relationship difficulties, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Brandon aims to work with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He integrates techniques and adjusts focus over time so treatment remains aligned with the client’s changing priorities and progress.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, family, or health constraints. These formats make it possible to continue regular sessions without travel and to access support from home, while allowing the therapist and client to use the same evidence-informed tools they would in person.
