About Bryan
Bryan Stanfill is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Washington with 22 years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, and family of origin concerns. He also supports people dealing with mood disorders, grief, sleep problems, ADHD, and the strains that come with life changes.
Bryan has worked in a variety of settings over two decades, including private practice, school-based programs, inpatient and residential care, and community services. That range has shaped a practical approach to therapy that focuses on examining automatic thoughts and testing behavior patterns. Sessions are aimed at helping people notice how early family roles and expectations still influence day-to-day choices and relationships.
He uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy along with trauma-focused work. In conversation he looks for concrete patterns to address - what someone thinks, how they act, and what happens next. This often leads to clear exercises and small experiments to try between sessions.
Bryan frames therapy as a collaborative effort. He helps clients map goals, try new ways of responding, and measure what changes. His style is direct and focused on practical steps that fit a person's life and responsibilities.
He offers services in English and accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions are delivered through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions typically involve reviewing current situations, testing automatic thoughts, and assigning brief exercises to practice between meetings. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and relationship patterns.DBT emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. In an online format DBT work usually teaches concrete skills such as distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and communication strategies that can be practiced in daily life. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing difficult experiences and reducing their ongoing impact through gradual, structured work when needed.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and which methods feel most useful. That collaborative assessment guides whether CBT, DBT, trauma-focused work, or a mix makes the most sense for a person's concerns.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without video if bandwidth or comfort make that preferable. Licensed professionals can use these options to help make regular sessions more practical for everyday life.
