About Bryan

Bryan Stanfill brings 22 years of clinical experience to his work as a licensed mental health counselor. He draws on cognitive behavioral therapy along with trauma-informed and skills-based approaches to help clients examine unhelpful thinking patterns and shift behaviors that keep them stuck.

Background and approach

Bryan emphasizes practical strategies that can reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, sleep disruption, and substance use while also addressing intimacy, relationship strains, and issues of self-worth. He has worked across independent practice, school-based, inpatient, residential, and community settings, which informs a flexible, pragmatic style that adapts to varied needs.

Bryan frames therapy as a collaborative exploration, inviting clients to test assumptions, practice new responses, and reconnect with sources of meaning and resilience. His stated goals are to help people recover a sense of balance, pursue life changes with confidence, and experience more satisfying day-to-day living.

Bryan is licensed as an LMHC and an LCPC and offers services to clients in Washington and to international clients in English.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online

Many clients find online therapy effective when it combines proven approaches with convenient access. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and addictive patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be useful for intense emotions, relationship issues, and coping with life stressors.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, and then try strategies that fit those needs while adjusting as progress is made. This practical partnership helps clarify which methods feel most helpful over time.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These formats make it easier to attend regularly, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations change. Licensed professionals can adapt therapeutic tools to remote settings so clients receive focused, accessible support.
