Brenita Seay

Brenita Seay is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and the effects of trauma. She aims to create an open space where clients can share thoughts and feelings without judgment.

Brenita centers sessions on practical steps and steady support. She works with clients on self-esteem, motivation, and time management or life-skills. Conversations often include looking at patterns, trying new coping strategies, and setting small, achievable goals.

Her approach draws on client-centered techniques that prioritize the person’s perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are offered to help reduce stress and improve focus.

Brenita also uses narrative and psychodynamic ideas to explore how past experiences shape current feelings and choices. This helps people make sense of recurring patterns and consider different paths forward. She emphasizes collaboration and practical problem solving in each session.

When arranging appointments, Brenita gives a short grace period so sessions have enough time for discussion: ten minutes for 30-minute sessions and fifteen minutes for 45-minute sessions. After that window, a session is recorded as a no-show and must be rescheduled. She encourages those ready to take a first step toward change to reach out and begin the process.

Approaches used in online sessions and how they help

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients name their goals and make choices that feel right for them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety or anger.

Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept up by them. These techniques can help reduce stress, improve sleep, and calm strong emotions.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match a person’s goals and preferences. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively which tools to keep using and which to change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use exercises and mindfulness practices between appointments to reinforce progress.
