Brent listens for each person's story and looks for small changes that add up. He supports clients working through grief, anger, stress, and body image concerns, and he helps people who feel isolated or stuck. He also addresses issues connected to chronic illness, fertility and fatherhood concerns, and substance use as they affect daily life.

In sessions he leans on several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, and attachment-focused work. Brent emphasizes building self-compassion, clearer communication, and coping skills that fit real-world situations. He frames therapy as a collaborative process rather than a lecture.

He has seven years of clinical experience as a LICSW in Washington. That background informs how he supports clients through practical problem solving, emotional processing, and rebuilding after loss or trauma. Brent works with adults, including young adults and men, to help them find steadier footing.

People who choose Brent can expect a calm, respectful atmosphere where the focus stays on what matters most to them. He aims to help clients notice patterns, try different strategies, and gradually expand the kinds of days they can have.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. ACT is often useful for anxiety, worry, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of responding; it is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns, and it aims to build safer ways of relating and expressing needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brent will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That means trying practical tools together, checking in on what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed in collaboration with the client.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats Brent currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use body-focused or cognitive skills in their usual routines, so practice between meetings feels more natural. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to an online setting while focusing on what helps you reach your goals.
