About Bryan
Bryan Stanfill is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Idaho with 22 years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, and issues related to intimacy and relationships, including family and parenting topics. Bryan speaks English and accepts international clients.
Bryan's background includes work in private practice, schools, inpatient and residential settings, and community programs. That range gives him direct experience with both short-term crises and long-term challenges. He draws on practical methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to build better ways of coping.
In sessions he focuses on identifying the assumptions that keep people stuck. He encourages examining automatic thoughts and testing different behaviors to see what actually helps. He uses evidence-informed approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and skills training to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Bryan also integrates trauma-focused work when past events interfere with current life. He pays attention to patterns stemming from family of origin, adoption or foster care experience, and issues around fatherhood. He also addresses concerns such as substance use, mood disorders, and grief in straightforward terms.
People who come to him can expect a direct, practical style aimed at clear goals. He frames therapy as a collaborative process that focuses on changing how someone thinks and acts in the situations that matter most to them. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to map out next steps.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying the thoughts that drive unhelpful reactions and teaching practical skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skill-building for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful when anger, strong emotions, or relationship difficulties are prominent.
Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past events affect current behavior and feelings and uses targeted strategies to reduce those effects. This approach helps when trauma or abuse interferes with day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bryan will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process can involve trying different techniques and adjusting them based on what helps in real life.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, or allow briefer check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often adapt session length and pacing to match a client's daily demands and responsibilities.
