About Brandon
Brandon Pung is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, and depression. He brings 15 years of professional experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Brandon treats worries like panic, obsessive thoughts, and social anxiety with calm, straightforward guidance.
He approaches work by listening first and asking what matters most to each person. He believes clients know their own stories and have strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative, with goals set together and skills practiced between meetings. Brandon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood problems, impulses, and difficulties with control. He often focuses on managing strong emotions, reducing unhelpful behaviors, and improving everyday routines that affect mental health.
His style is down-to-earth and goal-oriented rather than overly academic. Parents who are feeling overwhelmed or stuck can expect clear strategies for handling frustration, communication struggles, and discipline challenges. He also helps people process painful events and work through shame, guilt, and forgiveness at a pace that feels safe.
Brandon practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English. He supports people seeking steady, practical progress and will work with each person to tailor an approach that fits their life and priorities.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Brandon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, teachable skills. One common approach he applies teaches people how to manage overwhelming anxiety and panic with step-by-step breathing and grounding practices and exercises to change unhelpful thought patterns. Another approach addresses compulsive behaviors and intrusive thoughts by helping people recognize triggers, practice alternative responses, and build routines that reduce compulsions over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. He collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, daily life, and what feels most useful. That choice can change as progress is made, and he will check in regularly to adjust plans together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people send brief updates or get support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
