About Brent

Brent Powell is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family difficulties, and self-esteem concerns. He focuses on practical support so clients can make steady progress in daily life. He takes a collaborative and straightforward approach in sessions.

Brent listens first, then helps people identify small, manageable steps to reduce distress and improve relationships. He aims to build on each person’s strengths while addressing patterns that get in the way.

Background and approach

With nine years of clinical experience, Brent draws on methods that encourage understanding and change. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client’s perspective and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems. Sessions typically focus on problem solving, skill building, and clearer communication.

Brent helps people work through attachment and commitment concerns, issues tied to control, and challenges that arise during divorce or separation. He also supports clients navigating addiction concerns, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. Other areas Brent addresses include men’s issues, midlife transitions, panic attacks, sexual dysfunction, social anxiety, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.

He offers a steady, respectful presence while helping people try new ways of coping and relating. People who want a direct, collaborative clinician who keeps goals practical may find his style helpful. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How Brent Uses Client-Centered and CBT Approaches Online

Client-Centered Therapy is about making the client’s experience central. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace so people can explore feelings and values. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort out what matters most in relationships or family life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts and behaviors influence emotions. It involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, panic, or depressive symptoms. CBT is often useful for stress, panic attacks, and social anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Brent will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, worries, and preferences. That may mean using Client-Centered techniques to build rapport, then adding CBT tools for skill practice and symptom reduction.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer disruptions from travel. Because the original profile does not list session formats, please confirm the available formats before booking. In general, online sessions can make it simpler to follow up between appointments, keep momentum on skill work, and fit therapy into work or family schedules without needing long commutes.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
