About Brent

Brent Theis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 23 years of experience. He helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. He also works with issues around career, life changes, compassion fatigue, and men's concerns.

Brent uses practical, structured methods to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. He combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with approaches that address attachment and emotion in relationships.

In sessions he commonly looks at patterns that keep problems going. That can mean tracking thoughts that increase anxiety, spotting interaction cycles in relationships, or naming old family dynamics that still influence decisions. He offers straightforward techniques for managing strong feelings and for trying new ways of responding when stress spikes.

His background includes many years working with people around separation, infidelity, fatherhood issues, and family origin concerns. He frames work around specific goals such as improving communication, rebuilding trust, or reducing reactivity at home and work.

Brent asks for measurable changes rather than vague promises. He encourages short experiments in everyday life to see what helps. People who prefer concrete tools and step-by-step practice often find this approach useful.

How his approaches translate to online work

Brent combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches in ways meant to solve immediate problems and improve relationship patterns. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and actions, which often leads to short, practical exercises people can try between sessions. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current closeness and trust, helping people notice interaction cycles and respond differently.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to prioritize based on goals, preferences, and how quickly they want to try behavioral changes. Sessions often mix thought-focused exercises and relational tasks so people can practice new responses in daily life.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Brent frames online work around practical scheduling and goal-focused exercises to help clients apply new skills between meetings.
