About Brenda
Dr. Brenda Kemp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, career concerns, depression, and coping with life changes.
Her sessions are straightforward and goal-focused. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also draws on emotionally-focused and narrative approaches when relationships or personal stories are central to the work.
Dr. Kemp often helps people break large problems into small, manageable steps. She supports practical skills practice between sessions, such as testing a new way of thinking or trying a different communication pattern. This makes progress measurable and easier to keep doing outside the session.
Her background includes many years addressing caregiving stress, adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric concerns, and situations involving hospice or end-of-life counseling. She also has experience working with survivors of domestic violence and people coping with cancer in themselves or loved ones.
In sessions she attends to emotions and personal history while also working on concrete behavior change. People who prefer a mix of structured skill work and space to tell their story tend to fit this way of working well.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Dr. Kemp uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thought patterns that keep problems going and to practice new behaviors that change outcomes. CBT sessions often include short exercises and take-home tasks to test changes between meetings.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing what matters most and taking action that matches personal values even when uncomfortable feelings are present. That approach can help with anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Client-centered work provides space for people to describe their experience and be heard while practical steps are planned.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Sessions can combine structured skill work with time to tell the personal story when that supports progress.
