About Brentom

Brentom Jackson offers a creative, practical approach to therapy rooted in evidence-based methods. He blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness and narrative techniques. Brentom uses clear, down-to-earth language so parents can quickly understand what to expect.

He holds a Master’s degree in counseling and practices as a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC with license number TX LPC 68645 in Texas. His background includes work as a school social worker, a community college counselor, and independent practice.

Background and approach

Those roles gave him experience across many life situations and common worries. He draws on that experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship problems. Sessions are practical and collaborative.

Brentom focuses on skills you can use between meetings, such as mood-focused techniques, mindfulness exercises, and ways to reframe unhelpful thoughts. He also brings elements from expressive arts and performance work when it fits the client’s style. Clients will find straightforward goal-setting, practice assignments, and regular check-ins on progress.

He pays attention to issues like identity, self-esteem, grief, addictions, and career concerns. The intent is steady, realistic change rather than quick fixes. His approach is flexible and tailored to each person’s needs.

Brentom works with people who are ready to engage in the process and want practical tools to move forward.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people live according to their values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It uses practical exercises to build flexibility and move toward meaningful actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms. Existential Therapy helps people examine life meaning, choices, and responsibility to address larger questions that can drive distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brentom collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He adjusts tools over time, trying practical techniques first and layering in mindfulness, narrative, or expressive methods as needed.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make sessions more flexible. These formats allow sessions around work, school, or family schedules and provide ongoing ways to check in between meetings. The focus is on usable strategies, clear homework, and steady progress no matter the delivery method.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
