Brandon Thoma, LPC

Brandon Thoma centers his practice on helping people pursue greater life fulfillment and wellbeing. He places the person first in the therapeutic process and offers consistent, supportive care aimed at reducing obstacles and fostering a growth and excellence mindset. Brandon challenges unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while teaching practical tools that promote confidence and day-to-day success.

His clinical style is rooted in person-centered therapy and draws on techniques from positive psychology, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This blend emphasizes empathy, present-moment awareness, and concrete skills for changing patterns that no longer serve the client.

Brandon primarily works with adults and teenagers dealing with depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties, and he also brings experience supporting people facing severe mental illness, substance use concerns, and trauma. He holds the credential LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - and earned a master’s degree in Counseling from Missouri Baptist University and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Southeast Missouri State University.

Brandon’s approach is practical and collaborative, aiming to equip people with strategies they can apply between sessions while maintaining a respectful, strengths-based focus on each person’s goals.
