About Brandon

Brandon Pung is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 15 years of professional experience. He helps people deal with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, and depression. He also works on related issues such as OCD, panic, social anxiety, mood disorders, and problems with communication and control.

Brandon approaches sessions by treating clients as the expert on their own lives. He looks for practical strengths people already have and uses them to address current struggles. Conversations focus on clear goals and steps clients can try between meetings.

In session he listens for patterns that make anger and frustration worse, such as rumination, avoidance, or harsh self-judgment. He helps people notice triggers and practice responses that reduce escalation. Sessions also address underlying problems like trauma or anxiety that feed into anger.

For parents he offers help with managing stress around caregiving and with setting consistent limits without escalating conflict. He works on communication strategies that lower tension at home and create clearer expectations.

Brandon emphasizes straightforward, evidence-based techniques and collaborative planning. He supports people who want to change how they handle conflict, reduce impulsive reactions, and repair strained relationships. The first sessions typically focus on priorities and a few small steps to try between meetings.

How sessions work

Approaches that address anger and underlying problems

Brandon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and patterns of thinking. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches practical strategies for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving communication during conflict. This helps people handle anger in the moment and lessen frequent flare-ups.

He also uses trauma-informed methods to recognize how past hurts can shape current responses. These methods involve grounding, paced processing, and building tolerance for distress so anger becomes less automatic and easier to name and change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with clients to identify which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. Together they try options and adjust plans based on what helps most.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, avoid commute time, or choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can also use remote sessions to practice new skills in everyday settings and to keep momentum between meetings.
