About Bruce
Bruce Engelhard is a licensed clinical social worker, listed as DC LICSW and UT LCSW, with 15 years of experience. He practices in Utah and focuses on common life stresses such as relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. He also addresses concerns like addiction, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
He brings an outdoors-oriented background to his work. He has served clients across age groups and backgrounds, and has used outdoor settings as part of his practice. He also teaches avalanche education and works as a mountain guide during winter months, which informs his practical, activity-friendly approach.
His sessions emphasize practical conversation and collaboration. He leans on methods drawn from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered work. Sessions involve talking through what is happening now, naming patterns, and practicing specific skills to manage stress or mood.
Bruce describes therapy as a cooperative process. He helps people sort priorities, try new ways of responding, and track small changes over time. He aims to help clients find clearer thinking about relationships, work, and day-to-day functioning.
He also has an interest in end-of-life and hospice counseling, prejudice and discrimination, and seasonal affective disorder. Prospective clients should confirm session formats and scheduling details before booking, and can use the site controls to begin the matching process.
BHow sessions work
How his approaches are used in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, values-driven steps while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress related to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practices concrete strategies to change them, which can help with mood, sleep, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and can guide work on intimacy and trust.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the focus based on goals and preferences. That process is ongoing rather than fixed at the first session.
If you plan to meet online, confirm the session formats available before booking. The therapist's methods lend themselves to short skill-building exercises, behavioral experiments, values work, and guided discussion, all of which can be adapted to remote sessions. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can maintain continuity with everyday responsibilities.
