About Brentom

Brentom Jackson blends cognitive behavioral techniques with creative, experiential methods to support people seeking practical tools for everyday challenges.

Background and approach

Brentom holds a Master's degree in counseling and is an LPC licensed in Texas; his background also includes a Bachelor’s in Theatre Arts and work as a registered yoga instructor and award-winning performance artist. He draws on eight years of clinical experience to craft collaborative plans that address mood, behavior, and coping skills.

His practice emphasizes a holistic, skills-based approach that weaves CBT and mindfulness with expressive arts and performance-informed techniques. Brentom has worked in school social work, community college counseling, and independent practice settings, giving him a range of experience with varied presenting concerns.

He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, addiction concerns, identity and multicultural issues, and life transitions. Clients who are motivated to engage in the therapeutic process will find a practitioner who combines calm presence and gentle humor with concrete strategies.

Brentom aims to help individuals develop sustainable tools for improved emotional regulation, clearer communication, and meaningful progress toward personal goals.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Brentom commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing actionable strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and mindfulness skills to increase psychological flexibility, helping people move toward meaningful goals even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Brentom partners with clients to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the work stays relevant and practical. He draws on his background in expressive and performance-informed methods when a creative option could enhance progress.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and practice skills between sessions using formats that suit each person’s schedule and communication style.
