About Bryan
Bryan Stanfill is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 22 years of experience to clinical work in Washington. He holds the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential and the Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential and offers straightforward, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by anger, stress, or anxiety. Bryan focuses on clear, usable tools that people can apply between sessions.
He helps clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns, test assumptions, and change behaviors that cause repeated problems.
Background and approach
That often means working on sleep, coping skills, and substance use when those issues are getting in the way. His background includes independent practice, school-based work, inpatient and residential settings, and community programs. That range gives him experience with both short-term problem solving and longer term life changes.
He brings that perspective when people are dealing with grief, trauma, or mood disorders. Bryan also supports people with relationship and intimacy concerns, questions about sexual expression and kink, adoption and fatherhood issues, and challenges tied to ADHD or neurodiversity. He frames therapy as a partnership and focuses on practical steps that match each person's priorities.
When clients want to explore trauma, he uses trauma-focused approaches alongside cognitive and behavioral tools. Sessions often move between identifying patterns, practicing new skills, and setting small goals. The aim is steady improvement in daily life, not quick fixes.

Approaches Bryan lists

Evidence-informed approaches delivered online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It helps with anger, anxiety, mood problems, sleep, and everyday coping by teaching concrete skills and new ways to respond.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful when strong emotions lead to conflict, impulsive actions, or difficulty staying stable day to day.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of past harm and teaches ways to process traumatic memories while developing safety and coping skills. It is often used alongside CBT techniques to manage symptoms and improve functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time so it fits the client’s life.
Online care makes it easier to fit therapy into busy days. Video calls approximate in-person sessions, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat allows quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing contact between appointments. These options promote flexibility and make it simpler to keep consistent progress.
