About Brandon
Brandon Pung, LMSW, helps people facing stress, anxiety, panic attacks, and related struggles. He focuses on practical steps people can use right away. His tone is direct and supportive, aimed at people ready to try change and reduce what gets in the way of day-to-day life.
Brandon has 15 years of professional experience and is licensed in Michigan as a Licensed Master Social Worker. He treats anxiety, panic disorder and panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. He also helps with parenting concerns and communication or control issues that make daily life harder.
In sessions he treats each person as the expert on their own life. He listens for strengths and builds on them while pointing out small, practical changes. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on symptoms and habits that keep problems going.
People can expect direct feedback and clear steps to practice between visits. Brandon emphasizes skills people can apply right away, such as ways to cope during high anxiety and ways to manage anger or low mood. The aim is to make change feel manageable, not overwhelming.
He approaches therapy as a collaboration. Brandon supports people as they try new strategies, reflect on progress, and adjust plans when needed. He encourages gradual work toward clearer goals and steadier daily functioning.
Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options
Brandon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, panic, and related problems. One common approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills for managing intense anxiety and panic attacks, such as breathing practice, grounding methods, and stepwise exposure to feared situations. Another approach concentrates on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that keep mood and anxiety problems going, helping people reduce symptoms and regain daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Brandon works with clients to understand their goals, challenges, and personal preferences, then tries methods that fit the person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan. Together they track progress and adjust strategies if something is not helping.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between in-person visits. It can also let sessions take place in a quieter space at home or during a break at work, or provide a shorter phone check-in when needed. Ask about available formats when you schedule so the arrangement fits your routine.
