I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Indiana and have been in practice since 2016. I help people navigate life’s challenges—including anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, trauma, depression, and low self-esteem.
I view therapy as a genuine partnership where we set goals, explore what’s working, and adjust as we grow. My approach is calm, compassionate, and collaborative. Some sessions focus on practical coping skills, while others create space for reflection and understanding.
I strive to make therapy a safe, supportive place for healing and growth—one where you can build insight, confidence, and resilience. Taking this step takes courage, and you don’t have to do it alone. Change is possible, and I’d be honored to walk beside you on your journey.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Very helpful and understanding
First therapist..so far so good. Hes easy to talk to. That's for sure.
Brandon is kind and compassionate. A listening ear, and help indeed.
Brandon is great! He has been so understanding & supportive as he helps me work through a very difficult time in my life. He’s truly like talking to a great friend that actually gives great advice and provides a healthy way of looking at life. He’s been very easy to open up to and actually share everything with opposed to other therapists I’ve had that make it difficult to be 100% honest with. He’s been a great help & I look forward to talking with him.
Brandon is great, really helps you to connect dots and really makes you feel at ease. For someone with anxiety along with many other things, he really is the best!
Very helpful and nice

Brandon is a good listener and allows you to tailor your therapy however you feel comfortable.
He has been amazing.
Brandon is very empathetic and makes me feel heard. He has a lot of good ideas and really seems to try to listen to what I am saying but yet challenge me to see other perspectives as well.
Easy to talk to. Understanding
So far, I have enjoyed my time with Brandon as my matched therapist. He has been very cordial, understanding, and has been good to be able to bounce my thoughts, ideas, and issues off of.
Brandon understands. Which is not to say he agrees with everything I say! He's honest and fair and encouraging which is exactly what I need. Good match, thank you.
Great availability and initial approach - super easy to talk to and to work with!
Brandon has been very professional and attentive. He reaches out periodically to check in on how things are going. Have only had one scheduled appt. at this point but so far so good.
