Brandon Pung, LMSW

Brandon Pung is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 15 years of professional experience. He has worked extensively with individuals facing stress, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger management, and depression. Over his career he has supported people navigating a range of mood and impulse-related concerns as well as relationship and communication difficulties.

Brandon approaches work from the perspective that each person is the expert of their own story and already carries strengths that can be drawn on during change. He emphasizes the courage it takes to pursue a more fulfilling and happier life and aims to create a supportive environment that empowers clients to take the first steps toward that change. His practice centers on partnering with clients to build on existing resources while addressing the specific symptoms and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Clients can expect a collaborative process focused on practical, evidence-based techniques tailored to the individual. Brandon provides guidance, validation, and tools designed to reduce distress and improve coping. He is dedicated to helping clients move toward greater stability, better relationships, and improved emotional well-being.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Convenient Online Care

Brandon employs evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and problem solving. He commonly uses cognitive approaches that help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. He also uses trauma-informed strategies that help individuals process difficult memories and build coping skills after experiences of abuse or other traumatic events. For obsessive or ritual-driven problems, he works with approaches that gradually reduce avoidance and compulsive responses in manageable steps, helping clients regain control over daily routines and reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Brandon collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts strategies over time as progress occurs. That collaborative stance helps ensure treatment feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and different communication styles. These formats make it easier to access a licensed professional from home or another convenient location, helping clients maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
