About Brentom
Brentom Jackson is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. He works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and guilt and shame. He also lists work related to self-esteem, anger, grief, career questions, bipolar concerns, and LGBT and multicultural issues.
He trained first in theatre arts and later completed a master’s degree in counseling. That mix shapes how he works. He often brings creativity and performance awareness into sessions alongside standard counseling methods. He is also a registered yoga instructor and an award-winning performance artist in North Texas.
Brentom’s background includes roles as a school social worker, a community college counselor, and a private practice clinician. Those jobs gave him experience with a range of life stages and everyday problems. He describes helping people build concrete tools, techniques, and practical knowledge to manage their work, school, and relationships.
In sessions he blends elements from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, narrative approaches, and existential perspectives. He may also borrow from sports and performance psychology and expressive arts practices when clients find those ways useful. The focus is on skills people can use between meetings.
He prefers to work with people who are ready to make changes and who want an active, collaborative approach. Brentom uses a calm manner and light humor while encouraging clients to try mindful, creative ways to address stuck patterns and strong feelings like guilt and shame.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It emphasizes values and small committed actions to move toward what matters in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, shame, or low mood. Mindfulness therapy uses attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of current experience.Choosing which approach to use is part of the work itself. Brentom will help clients explore which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking how they land, and adapting the mix of ACT, CBT, mindfulness, or narrative work based on what the person finds useful.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments into a busy week and options that can reduce travel time. The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types and technical details before booking. Online meetings can support short check-ins, guided mindfulness practice, or the same conversational work as office sessions while making it simpler to attend around work, school, or caregiving commitments.
