About Brenda
Dr. Brenda Kemp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 16 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, and related life challenges. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use in daily life to manage difficult feelings and reconnect with what matters to them.
Her approach blends several ways of working rather than relying on a single method. That includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Narrative Therapy. She uses these models to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try new responses, and shift long-standing habits.
In session the style is direct and engaged. Conversations look at what triggers strong reactions and at small changes that reduce reactivity. She also addresses relationship dynamics and communication patterns that often keep anger and resentment alive.
Dr. Kemp has substantial experience with a wide range of concerns beyond anger, such as addictions, intimacy-related issues, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues tied to adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, end-of-life concerns, and family-of-origin patterns.
Sessions are offered in English and reflect the clinician's clinical approaches. If someone wants to begin, the process involves a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the practice's online flow.
How sessions work
How Dr. Kemp integrates approaches for online work
The work often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and choose actions tied to their values rather than reacting automatically. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to reduce reactivity and change unhelpful patterns.She also uses Client-Centered principles, which emphasize listening, clear feedback, and collaboration. Together these approaches give structure and a conversational frame so clients can try new responses to anger and check what is and isn't working. Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process based on the client's needs and goals.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the practice lists session setup during the intake flow. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and making it easier to attend from different locations. The therapist will work with each client to shape sessions in ways that match daily demands and therapeutic priorities.
