About Brent
Brent Powell is a licensed professional counselor who helps people in Mississippi manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family concerns, and self-esteem struggles. He writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Brent focuses on clear, practical steps people can use between sessions.
He brings nine years of clinical experience to his work and aims to build a calm, collaborative space for clients. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, developing coping skills, and setting small, achievable goals.
How Brent works
Brent mixes client-centered listening with cognitive tools to make sense of feelings and behavior. Clients can expect conversations that balance empathy with straightforward problem solving. Brent helps people name what is happening, test new ways of thinking, and try actionable changes that feel doable.
He encourages realistic pacing so progress fits into everyday life. Beyond common concerns like anxiety and depression, he addresses attachment and commitment issues, control struggles, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and life purpose questions. He also works with issues related to divorce and separation, drug and alcohol addiction, sexual functioning, panic attacks, social anxiety, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.
Brent aims to help people find inner resources and practical tools to move forward. His goal is steady, sustainable change rather than quick fixes. He invites prospective clients to consider what matters most to them and bring that into the conversation.

Approaches that guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and build confidence to make their own changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. Both approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and stress management.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. If something does not help, adjustments are made so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as reducing travel time or fitting a meeting into a lunch break. It also allows continuity when schedules or locations change. Because specific session formats are not listed here, confirm current session options before booking to learn whether video, phone, or other formats are available. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively by focusing on practical skills, clearer thinking, and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
