About
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 focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, and men's issues. He works with adults on practical problems that get in the way of daily life.
Bryan draws on cognitive and behavioral methods to look at the thoughts and habits that keep people stuck. He also uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotional regulation and interpersonal skills. Trauma-focused work is part of how he helps people face and process painful experiences when those come up.
In-session he tends to be direct and practical. Conversations include identifying automatic thoughts, testing assumptions, and trying out new behaviors between sessions. Clients often leave with small, doable tools to use when stress or anger spikes.
His background spans private practice, school-based programs, inpatient and residential care, and community settings. That variety informs how he frames problems and matches strategies to real-life demands. He emphasizes straightforward steps people can use at home and at work.
Bryan asks for collaboration on goals and keeps the focus on measurable change. He notes that life pressure can wear people down physically and mentally, and he aims to help rebuild steady routines and clearer thinking. If someone wants to reduce snapping, manage resentment, or get a handle on substance use, he offers a practical, skills-focused approach.
How sessions work
How CBT, DBT, and trauma work in online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real situations. It helps with anxiety, anger, and patterns that keep people stuck by giving clear tools to change thinking and behavior.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Skills include distress tolerance and interpersonal strategies that are useful when anger flares or communication breaks down.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing painful memories and reducing their hold on current life. It can be used when past events keep causing anxiety, sleep problems, or mood swings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or combine methods based on needs, goals, and how someone prefers to work. That means trying techniques, checking how they feel in daily life, and adjusting the plan together.
