About Brent
Brent Theis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 23 years of experience. He works with people on relationship concerns, family matters, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting strain, stress, anxiety, anger, career questions, depression, and coping with life changes.
He uses straightforward conversation to help clients notice patterns that repeat from their family of origin. Sessions focus on understanding attachment and control issues, and on practical steps to change repeating behaviors. He also addresses fatherhood issues, infidelity, divorce and separation concerns, and questions about life purpose.
Brent draws on approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Trauma-Focused Therapy. That means sessions can include looking at how past relationships shape current reactions, testing small changes in behavior, and working through strong emotions tied to difficult events.
People meet with him to talk through concrete problems and to build skills for handling stress, anger, and relationship conflicts. He also helps those feeling worn down by caregiving or compassion fatigue to identify limits and routines that reduce overload.
Sessions blend listening with practical tools and reflection. Brent aims to help people recognize patterns coming from their family backgrounds and to try different ways of responding. He works with English-speaking clients in Texas and accepts international clients as well.
Approach and how online sessions work
Brent uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current behavior and emotional responses. This approach helps people notice roles learned in their family and how those roles show up in adult relationships.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and to test small behavior changes. CBT provides concrete tools for managing anxiety, anger, and stress tied to family-of-origin patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) informs work on strong relationship feelings and closeness, helping clients name and respond to powerful emotions more clearly.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Brent will work collaboratively to match methods to a client's needs, goals, and preferences. That includes checking what feels useful and adjusting the focus as work progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also lets someone continue therapy when they have moved or are living abroad, while the therapist and client decide together what approach and pace will work best.
