About Brent

Brent Powell is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi who helps men and other adults navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. He focuses on practical, down-to-earth support so people can feel steadier day to day.

He draws on nine years of clinical experience to build a respectful, collaborative space. Sessions center on the person's goals and strengths, and conversation is guided by what matters most in their life. Brent listens for patterns that keep problems recurring and looks for small changes that add up.

His work commonly addresses family dynamics, self-esteem, attachment and commitment issues, and midlife concerns. He also supports people managing substance use, impulsivity, panic, and sexual or relationship challenges including polyamory or non-monogamous relationships.

Brent uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral therapy techniques. That means he prioritizes the client’s perspective while also offering clear tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He aims to make therapy understandable and directly applicable to everyday life.

People who choose Brent can expect steady, practical guidance and an approach that respects their values. He helps clients identify realistic steps toward better coping and stronger relationships without overwhelming complexity.

How Brent’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening to the client and following their lead. In practice this means the therapist focuses on understanding the client's concerns and priorities, then shapes sessions around those needs. It is helpful for building self-awareness, exploring family and relationship patterns, and improving self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers concrete strategies for reducing anxiety, managing panic, and changing unhelpful patterns. CBT commonly includes short exercises and plans to try between sessions so progress continues outside of meetings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to choose or blend methods based on their goals, life circumstances, and how they respond to different techniques. That teamwork helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy schedules, makes shorter check-ins possible, and removes travel time. Online work can support steady progress through regular meetings and practical exercises adapted to day-to-day life.
