Brentom Jackson

Brentom Jackson is an LPC with eight years of counseling experience who brings a creative, practical style to therapy. He mixes down-to-earth conversation with experiential tools so people can make changes that stick. Brentom speaks plainly and aims to help clients find clearer ways to handle stress, anger, anxiety, and relationship strain.

He studied theatre arts for his bachelor’s degree and earned a master’s degree in counseling. That background shows up in his work through expressive methods and attention to personal narrative. He is also a registered yoga instructor and an award-winning performance artist in North Texas, and he draws on those interests when it fits a client's needs.

Earlier roles as a school social worker and a community college counselor shaped his approach to practical problem solving. He uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help with day-to-day symptoms like worry, low mood, or addictive patterns. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe difficult stories and clarify values.

Sessions tend to focus on building specific skills, testing small changes between meetings, and noticing what matters most. Brentom asks for active participation from people who want change and offers steady guidance with a calm, approachable style and light humor. He encourages clients to set goals and learn tools they can use outside of sessions.

People often come for help with self-esteem, grief, intimacy issues, career questions, or struggles with identity and discrimination. Brentom aims to tailor his approach to each person's life and goals so progress feels real and doable.

Using ACT and CBT online to tackle everyday problems

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small committed steps toward those values. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching ways to accept difficult thoughts while still moving toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about noticing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and practicing new responses to reduce symptoms like anxiety or anger. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple awareness skills that can ease reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust strategies based on what helps you most. That cooperative process means techniques may be combined and refined as you move forward.

This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy life, shortening travel time, or checking in during a work break. Online meetings can make it easier to practice mindfulness exercises between sessions and to use recorded or written exercises that support CBT or ACT work.
