About Brandon

Brandon Barton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing stress and anxiety, including panic disorder and panic attacks. He also supports those coping with depression, addictions, grief, relationship strain, and LGBT-related concerns. His approach is practical and direct, aimed at making sessions feel clear and manageable for someone juggling busy days.

Brandon draws on about 11 years of clinical experience in a range of settings. He has worked in crisis and inpatient behavioral health units and helped develop group programs at a neuropsychology clinic and an Alzheimer’s assistance center. That background means he is used to fast-changing situations and to helping people find steady steps forward.

In sessions he leans on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral strategies to identify patterns that keep problems going and try small changes that make a difference. He also uses mindfulness and existential ideas to help people notice their choices and values when life feels confusing.

Research and teaching have been part of his path. He has taken part in studies on mood, attachment, and gender-based violence, and has presented findings at academic gatherings. Those experiences inform a thoughtful, evidence-minded outlook rather than strict prescriptions.

People who choose him can expect a collaborative tone. He talks through goals, focuses on practical coping skills, and adapts methods to what each person finds most useful.

How his approaches shape online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what matters most, and helps set goals that feel personally meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems in place and uses clear exercises to test and change them. It often helps with panic, anxiety, and mood symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brandon will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking how they fit, and adjusting based on what actually helps in day-to-day life.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how meetings will take place. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue work between meetings using exercises and mindfulness practices that translate well to daily routines.
