Brent Powell

Brent Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with nine years of experience. He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, family tensions, and low self-esteem. He also focuses on concerns such as life purpose, attachment and commitment issues, and challenges tied to midlife transitions.

Brent prefers clear, straightforward conversations about what is happening now and what feels out of balance. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and follow each person's priorities, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes. Sessions are aimed at understanding patterns and testing new ways of coping in everyday life.

In practice he talks through concrete problems such as panic attacks, social anxiety, and sexual functioning challenges. He also supports people dealing with divorce or separation, addiction concerns, guilt and shame, and questions about polyamory or non-monogamous relationships. His work addresses impulses, control issues, and relational strains that interfere with daily functioning.

Brent describes therapy as collaborative work. He helps people notice where their habits and beliefs come from, then works with them to try different responses. That often means setting small goals, trying new behaviors between sessions, and reviewing what changed.

People meet him to sort out what matters next when life feels stuck. He practices in Mississippi and conducts sessions in English.

How Brent’s approaches translate to online work

Brent uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully to what the client says and following their priorities to shape sessions. It helps people clarify values, notice patterns in relationships, and decide what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, experimenting with small behavior changes, and tracking results. This approach is often used for anxiety, panic, depression, and difficult social situations.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Brent will collaborate with each person to choose what fits their goals and preferences, and adjust strategies over time. He frames therapy as a team process where methods are tested and refined together.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce time spent traveling. Many people find virtual sessions help them keep continuity of care while balancing everyday responsibilities.
