About Brentom

Brentom Jackson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who blends practical therapy with creativity. He brings a calm presence and light humor to sessions while helping people tackle issues that interfere with daily life.

He has worked as a school social worker, a community college counselor, and in private practice. Those roles helped him support people at different life stages facing common problems like anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles.

He focuses on helping clients build skills, handle stress, improve communication, and clarify life direction. Sessions balance practical exercises, guided mindfulness, and creative exercises when helpful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based actions. It supports work on anxiety, stress, and motivation by clarifying what matters and building small, consistent steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior, and teaches practical skills to change them; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and problem-solving in daily life. Existential Therapy invites conversations about meaning, choice, and life direction, and can help when someone is rethinking goals or facing midlife and purpose questions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a client's needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine techniques over time. Clients and therapist check in about what is helping and adjust the plan together.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets clients try mindfulness exercises, behavioral experiments, or narrative work between meetings to keep progress moving in everyday life.
