About Brent
Brent Powell is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Mississippi who helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family struggles. He focuses on building self-esteem and practical ways to manage everyday emotional challenges. Brent writes simply and listens carefully so people feel heard and understood from the first session.

Background and approach
Brent aims for steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes. With nine years of experience, Brent brings steady clinical practice to each meeting. He concentrates on issues such as attachment and commitment concerns, dealing with guilt and shame, midlife questions, and relationship types that include non-monogamous arrangements.
He also supports people facing divorce, addiction challenges, panic attacks, and problems with sexual functioning or social anxiety. Brent draws from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape sessions. That means he centers the client's perspective while also offering concrete strategies to shift thoughts and behavior.
He encourages practical steps clients can take between meetings. People who work with Brent find a respectful, collaborative approach that balances listening with clear guidance. To begin, he asks about current goals and helps map a plan that fits each person’s life and pace.
How client-centered and CBT approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people feel understood and supports them in finding their own solutions to relationship or emotional problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses clear exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage panic, or shift unhelpful patterns in relationships and self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brent collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they try approaches, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time.
The therapist's profile does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the available session options before booking so they match your schedule and needs. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, avoid travel, have shorter check-ins when needed, or use phone-only meetings if video is difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists often adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote sessions.
