About Brent

Brent Powell is an MS LPC (Master of Science, Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Mississippi with nine years of clinical experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, and self-esteem difficulties. He speaks English and does not take international clients.

Brent uses practical strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. He combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods with a client-centered approach to focus on what matters most to each person. Sessions are focused on clear steps people can try between meetings.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation and concrete exercises. Brent helps people identify patterns that keep problems going and tests small changes to see what works. He also addresses related concerns such as attachment, commitment and control issues, impulsivity, and problems with trust or forgiveness.

He has experience helping people through life transitions like divorce and midlife shifts, and with challenges tied to substance use, sexual functioning, panic, and social anxiety. Brent gives practical tools for coping, decision-making, and rebuilding confidence.

Brent’s style centers on collaboration. He listens, reflects what he hears, and offers techniques drawn from CBT and client-centered work. People who want focused, structured help with real-life problems often find this approach useful.

How Brent Uses CBT and Client-Centered Work Online

Brent draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to structure sessions and set goals. CBT is described simply as identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying alternative behaviors, and tracking outcomes; it is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and social fears. Client-centered work prioritizes listening and reflection so the person feels understood and can choose what feels most important to address.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Brent will collaborate with each person to decide whether more CBT-style exercises or more listening and reflection fit their goals. He frames this as an ongoing, practical process rather than a fixed prescription.

The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day by removing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering sessions without video when bandwidth is limited. Brent aims to help people use remote sessions in ways that fit daily schedules and treatment goals rather than promising a specific delivery method.
