Bryan Stanfill

Bryan Stanfill is a licensed mental health counselor who guides people through stress, anxiety, anger, relationship concerns, and addiction-related struggles. He uses straightforward talk and practical strategies so clients can start making changes quickly. Bryan works from Washington and brings 22 years of clinical experience to his practice.

He has worked across private practice, school-based programs, inpatient and residential settings, and community-based services. That variety shaped a flexible style that fits different life situations. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, then testing small changes to see what helps.

Bryan draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and trauma-focused methods. He emphasizes finding what works for each person rather than following a single script. The work often includes learning new coping skills, addressing patterns that fuel anger or anxiety, and rebuilding a sense of purpose.

Clients can expect clear goals and practical exercises that connect to everyday life. Bryan aims to help people notice their automatic thinking, try different responses, and build routines that support better days. He also supports those dealing with grief, sleep problems, ADHD, mood disorders, and identity-related concerns.

Conversations are collaborative and paced to the client's needs. Bryan wants people to see the hope already present in their lives and to take steps toward living more fully. International clients may be accepted, and sessions are conducted in English.

How evidence-based approaches fit online care

Bryan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in ways that translate well to online work. CBT focuses on spotting thoughts and testing practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety and anger. DBT teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can be practiced between sessions and reviewed with the therapist.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Bryan will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they decide whether CBT, DBT, trauma-focused work, or a mix is the best fit for the client's needs.

Confirm which session formats are available before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and let people join from different locations when travel is difficult. Therapists can assign exercises, review progress, and coach new skills between meetings to help changes stick.
