About Bruce
Bruce Engelhard is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Utah. He brings 15 years of experience to his work and combines outdoor guiding with clinical support. He frames therapy as a collaborative process where clients lead their own healing.
Bruce uses straightforward, practical conversations to address problems like anxiety, depression, grieving, and problems with sleep or anger. He also helps people navigate relationship strain, parenting stress, addictions, ADHD, career concerns, and changes that come with life transitions.
Background and approach
His approach aims to build skills people can use day to day. He draws from several approaches including acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavior techniques, and dialectical behavior strategies. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client, practicing useful coping skills, and trying small changes between meetings.
The therapist keeps sessions interactive and goal oriented. Bruce has worked with a wide range of adults and adolescents and has experience addressing hospice and end-of-life concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and seasonal affective disorder. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a belief that people deserve meaningful, enjoyable days.
In addition to office-based work, Bruce has long used outdoor settings as part of his practice when appropriate. He encourages clients to think about values and to take practical steps toward living in line with those values, while offering steady support throughout the process.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values, which can reduce stress and build motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative step. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, explain options, and work together to try approaches that fit your life. Plans can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you have a face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be a simpler way to check in when bandwidth or being on camera is an issue. Live chat and text are useful for short check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
