About Bryan

Bryan Stanfill is a licensed therapist who brings 22 years of clinical experience to his practice. He holds licensure as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington and as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Idaho. Bryan focuses on helping people with stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, intimacy concerns, and self esteem struggles. He emphasizes practical steps people can take now to feel better in daily life.

Bryan has worked in independent practice, schools, inpatient and residential programs, and community settings. That variety gives him a broad view of how life events and relationships shape mood and behavior. He draws from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and trauma-focused work to help people examine their assumptions and change unhelpful patterns.

In sessions he looks at how thought patterns and behaviors interact. He helps people test assumptions and try small changes that add up over time. Bryan aims to build a collaborative relationship so clients can notice what helps and keep what works.

He also supports people facing grief, sleep problems, bipolar and mood disorders, ADHD, and issues tied to family of origin or fatherhood. He pays attention to how isolation, shame, or life transitions can make everyday demands harder to meet.

People who choose Bryan can expect straightforward conversation, goal-focused planning, and gentle challenges to old habits. He encourages clients to take steps that fit their life and to measure progress in everyday terms.

How Bryan Uses CBT, DBT, and Trauma-Focused Work Online

Bryan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps so people can test new ways of thinking and acting and see what changes in daily life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT can be useful for intense emotions, anger, relationship struggles, and improving how people respond in tense moments.

Trauma-focused work looks at how past hurt shapes current reactions and relationships. It aims to reduce the ways traumatic memories or beliefs get in the way of living toward chosen goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress is made so the work stays relevant and useful.

Confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can also make it easier to continue work across moves or when schedules change, while keeping the focus on practical, skill-based steps that translate into everyday life.
