About Brentom
Brentom Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. He lists stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, career concerns and life purpose among the areas he works with. Sessions are conducted in English and he does not accept international clients.
Brentom trained in counseling after completing a Bachelor’s degree in Theatre Arts and a Master’s degree in counseling. His background includes work as a school social worker, a community college counselor, and a private practice clinician. Those roles gave him experience with a range of common concerns people bring to therapy.
He uses practical methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with mindfulness and narrative approaches. Brentom also draws on expressive arts and performance ideas from his theatre background to open new ways of approaching stuck patterns.
In sessions he focuses on concrete tools, techniques and skills people can use between meetings. He tends to work collaboratively and expects clients to be committed to making change. He describes his style as creative and eclectic, mixing approaches to suit the problem at hand.
Brentom often helps people who are questioning direction after changes in work, relationships or health, and those dealing with issues such as body image, commitment problems, fatherhood concerns, or midlife transitions. He asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin the process.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help when someone feels stuck deciding what matters after a life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression and stress. Mindfulness practices train present-moment awareness and can reduce rumination and emotional reactivity. Finding the best approach is part of the work. Brentom treats the choice of method as collaborative, checking in with clients about what helps and adjusting techniques to fit a person’s goals and preferences. The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, school, or caregiving, or useful when a shorter check-in is needed. Online meetings can make it simpler to maintain continuity after a move or schedule change. Ask about available formats and any practical details when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions can be arranged to fit everyday life.Areas of expertise
