About Brentom
Brentom Jackson is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. He works with stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationships, family issues, grief, intimacy-related issues, career challenges, and bipolar concerns. He also addresses body image, commitment and communication problems, dissociation, divorce and separation, family of origin issues, fatherhood issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, men’s issues, midlife crisis, money and financial stress, multicultural concerns, and prejudice and discrimination.
Brentom trained first in theatre arts and later earned a master’s degree in counseling. He has worked as a school social worker, a community college counselor, and in private practice. That mix of roles gives him experience with people at different life stages and varied problems. He brings practical tools drawn from multiple approaches rather than relying on a single method.
In sessions he uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness, and draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Existential therapy ideas, and Narrative work. He also integrates movement and expressive arts elements from his background in performance and yoga instruction when relevant. The work focuses on clear skills and real-life application rather than theory alone.
Brentom prefers to work with clients who are motivated to change and ready to try new strategies. He aims to help people build tools they can use in daily life - for school, work, relationships, and creative pursuits. His style includes straightforward feedback, practical exercises, and occasional light humor.
Clients seeking help for the pressures of early adulthood - such as starting college, first jobs, identity and relationship questions - may find his mix of practical skills and creative approaches relatable. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before scheduling.
How Brentom’s approaches translate to online work
Brentom draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to shape practical online sessions. CBT focuses on noticing thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments, which can be translated to homework and short skill practices between meetings. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and taking committed action, useful for people feeling stuck after school or at work.He also uses mindfulness techniques to help reduce reactivity and improve present-moment focus. Mindfulness practice can be short guided exercises you do during a session and then repeat on your own. Together these approaches help with anxiety, stress, relationship patterns, and decision-making in early adulthood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and everyday schedule. Sessions can mix practical skills, narrative reflection, and small at-home experiments so the work connects to real situations like interviews, classes, or relationship conversations.
