About Damon

Damon Bryan is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Utah who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and a broad range of life transitions.

Background and approach

He also works with concerns such as intimacy and self-esteem, parenting and fatherhood issues, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. With 21 years of clinical experience, he brings sustained practice helping clients navigate both immediate crises and longer-term patterns rooted in family of origin, attachment, and related developmental concerns.

His style emphasizes collaboration and an alliance-focused process where goals are defined together and therapy proceeds at a pace that fits each person. Damon draws on several evidence-based methods including Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, EMDR, and the Gottman Method, adapting techniques to client needs rather than following a single rigid model.

He offers English-language services via multiple online formats and maintains weekday availability with some scheduling flexibility for appointments during typical daytime hours.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps people identify and relate to internal parts that hold beliefs, emotions, or protective roles; online sessions can guide clients through gentle inner exploration and integration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress that translate well to video or chat-based homework and skill practice. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be practiced during sessions and reinforced through real-time messaging or phone check-ins.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess goals, preferences, and history, and then tailor a mix of methods that fits those needs rather than relying on a single technique. This collaborative stance helps clients feel engaged in selecting tools that match their life circumstances.

Online therapy with Damon is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain regular appointments, practice skills between sessions, and access care from home or work during daytime hours when he is typically available.
