Brandi Vonbartheld

Brandi Vonbartheld is an LPC based in South Carolina who supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She meets each person where they are and focuses on practical steps to reduce daily stress and improve functioning.

Her work includes helping with anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She also supports people managing emotional regulation, behavioral challenges, and the effects of neurodivergence. Brandi offers Christian counseling when clients want to include faith in their work.

Brandi draws on her four years of clinical experience to shape sessions that fit each person's needs. She uses a collaborative, strengths-based style and adapts strategies to what the client finds most useful. Sessions are goal-oriented and focus on skills clients can try between meetings.

She has a background as a first responder and brings that perspective into sessions with people affected by violence, emergency work, or military-related stress. That experience informs how she talks about trauma and the aftereffects of high-stress jobs.

Brandi works with a broad range of concerns including abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger Syndrome, family problems, and post-traumatic stress. She helps people address social anxiety, isolation, guilt and shame, and challenges related to mood disorders.

Sessions are conducted in English and Brandi practices in South Carolina. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Brandi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping and recovery. One approach emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day functioning; this helps people with mood challenges, emotional regulation, and anxiety. Another approach focuses on trauma-informed strategies that address the effects of abuse, violence, or high-stress work by pacing work to match a person's readiness and building safety and stability first.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brandi collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most, and the client has a role in shaping the plan.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also support ongoing work after a crisis or while navigating life transitions, helping people practice skills in everyday settings and maintain momentum between in-person visits if those are arranged.
