About Brent
Brent Theis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 23 years of experience. He works with adults around relationship strain, family issues, trauma, parenting pressures, stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions.
He focuses on practical conversations about what is happening now. Sessions look at relationship patterns, attachment, and how emotions play out in day-to-day life. He also addresses career concerns, depression, and compassion fatigue when those issues link back to how someone connects with others or copes with stress.
Brent uses approaches that help people notice their patterns and try small changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thinking habits that keep problems alive. Attachment-based and emotionally-focused work look at how closeness, trust, and hurt show up in relationships.
He supports people dealing with control issues, divorce and separation, family of origin wounds, fatherhood questions, infidelity, and forgiveness. Brent also assists clients exploring life purpose and men's issues when these come up alongside relationship or emotional concerns.
His practice is steady and direct. He aims for clear goals, practical skills, and improved ways of relating. To start, he asks about the immediate problems and what a better day would look like, then he and the client plan steps to get there.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of closeness and safety affect current relationships. It helps people understand why they react a certain way with partners or family and supports building steadier connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete skills to shift unhelpful thinking and reduce reactive behavior such as snapping or rumination.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with the client about current struggles, goals, and preferences, then try an approach and adjust based on what helps. The work is practical - testing small changes, reviewing what worked, and refining next steps together.
