About Brent
Brent Powell is an MS LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Mississippi with nine years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, and related issues such as guilt and shame.
He keeps sessions practical and focused. Conversations look at what led to difficult feelings and what keeps them going. He uses approaches that help people notice their thoughts and try new ways of responding to problems in daily life.
Brent combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). That means he listens for each person's perspective and also offers concrete tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions often blend talking through emotions with skill-building exercises to manage symptoms and improve interactions.
He pays attention to attachment, commitment and control issues when those patterns show up in relationships. He also works with people facing divorce or separation, addiction concerns, midlife questions, and issues around sexual functioning or non-monogamous relationships.
People who come to him for guilt or shame can expect straightforward conversation about what happened, how it still affects them, and practical steps to reduce its hold. Brent aims to help clients make sense of their experience and try new ways of coping that fit everyday life.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client's experience. In practice this means the therapist helps the client talk through painful feelings and get clearer about what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses short exercises and thought records to challenge unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brent treats the choice of technique as collaborative. He will help identify whether reflective listening, CBT tools, or a mix of both fits a client's needs and goals, and adjust as those needs change.
