About Brent
Brent Theis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 23 years of experience. He focuses on issues people bring when life changes leave them stuck or unsure what comes next. Common concerns include relationships, parenting, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, anger, career questions, and questions about life purpose.
He works directly with individual adults to talk through relationship and intimacy struggles, family-of-origin problems, and the strain that caregiving or compassion fatigue can cause. Brent also addresses difficulties tied to divorce, infidelity, fatherhood, and control or attachment patterns that keep people repeating the same problems.
Brent uses approaches drawn from attachment work, cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally-focused methods, and trauma-focused strategies. In sessions he helps people notice patterns, practice different ways of relating, and test small changes that can shift everyday interactions. He explains thinking and feeling patterns plainly and suggests practical steps people can try between meetings.
His style is straightforward and focused on what to try next rather than long theory talks. He helps clients weigh options after a job change, separation, health shift, or other life transition. Brent will also work with men who want to address role strains, fatherhood questions, or a loss of direction.
People who want to get started are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. He sees clients from Texas and also accepts international clients who want to work in English.
How Brent’s approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds. It helps people recognize when they pull away or push for closeness and practice new ways of relating that can reduce conflict and increase connection.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete tools for testing unhelpful beliefs, changing avoidance habits, and building more effective coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, habits, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try first. That decision is revisited as sessions progress so the plan can be adjusted to what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when momentum needs maintenance. Many people find remote sessions help them stay consistent during job or family transitions, while still allowing practical exercises and homework between visits.
