About Brenda
Brenda Rogers is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with ten years of experience working with adults. She focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and depression. Brenda also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, body image, and feelings of isolation.
In sessions she uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and respond to what matters most to each person. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical ways to test different behaviors. Conversations are direct and geared toward small, doable changes rather than abstract ideas.
Brenda helps clients talk through relationship-related hurts like infidelity, divorce and separation, and communication problems. She also supports people working through guilt, shame, control issues, impulsivity, and jealousy. When neurodiversity or intellectual disability is part of someone’s life, she focuses on clear, concrete strategies that fit their situation.
Her work often addresses life purpose and the question of what comes next after a change in work, health, or relationships. Sessions look at practical steps toward clarity about career direction and personal priorities. She encourages regular reflection and small experiments to see what feels useful.
People can expect straightforward, collaborative sessions that combine listening with practical tools from CBT and a client-centered stance. Brenda asks about current patterns, tries brief skills practice in session, and reviews how new strategies worked between meetings.
How Brenda blends client-centered work and CBT online
Brenda uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and respond to each person's priorities. This approach involves open, reflective conversation that helps clarify values, goals, and what feels important in day-to-day life. It is often useful for people who are unsure what matters next or who want clearer direction.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT involves trying small experiments, tracking reactions, and building practical skills for stress, anxiety, anger, and mood. This method is action-oriented and helps translate insights into concrete steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss options and decide together which methods align with a client's goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process includes reviewing what helps and adjusting the approach over time.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow quieter or lower-bandwidth options when that suits someone's routine, helping therapy fit into everyday life without requiring large scheduling changes.
