About Damon
Damon Bryan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Utah with 21 years of professional experience. He works with adults around stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of other issues including parenting and blended family issues.
He meets people where they are and uses a collaborative, goal-focused approach. Sessions are conversational and direct. Damon and the person he sees set treatment goals together and check progress along the way.
His clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), the Gottman Method, and mindfulness-based approaches. He draws on methods that fit the issue at hand rather than using one fixed technique.
In practice he focuses on clear, practical steps - identifying unhelpful patterns, building coping skills, and improving communication. He also addresses attachment, adoption and foster care concerns, autism-related issues, caregiver stress, and fatherhood questions where relevant.
People who contact him typically start by describing the most pressing problem. Damon then helps create concrete next steps. He emphasizes a steady working relationship and regular review of goals rather than promises about outcomes.
How his approaches are used in online sessions
CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In brief, sessions involve identifying patterns, testing new behaviors, and practicing skills that reduce anxiety, depression, and relationship conflict.DBT focuses on building emotion regulation and interpersonal skills. It teaches concrete tools for managing intense feelings, handling conflict calmly, and tolerating distress without impulsive reactions.
EMDR is a trauma-informed method that works with disturbing memories and the reactions tied to them. It is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the ways those memories affect current functioning.
Choosing the right method is part of the work. Damon will discuss different options and help decide what fits a person’s goals and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as needs evolve.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can use different approaches in remote sessions just as they do in person, and Damon will adapt methods to the way a person prefers to meet.
