About Brandon

Brandon Byrd is a licensed professional counselor who helps people in Tennessee handle anger, depression, and big life changes. He aims to make therapy a straightforward place to talk, learn coping skills, and try new ways of handling stress and relationships.

Background and approach

His work draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and EMDR to address symptoms and past experiences.

How Brandon’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the client, helping them steer the work and set personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts and behaviors, offering simple exercises to try between sessions to reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) supports processing past distressing memories and their emotional impact when appropriate, often paired with other strategies to manage symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, then choose or combine methods that fit your situation. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online sessions use video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical change and steady progress.
