About Brent
Brent Theis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 23 years of clinical experience. He focuses on relationship concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy difficulties, parenting stress, anxiety, anger, career questions, depression, and coping with life changes. He also works with attachment difficulties, control issues, divorce and separation impacts, fatherhood concerns, and forgiveness work.
Brent tends to work in a direct, emotion-focused way that helps people name and understand strong feelings. He uses methods that look at how past relationships shape present behavior. Sessions often include looking at interaction patterns and the emotions that drive them. He combines this with strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior when that is useful.
He commonly integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-based ideas to explore how bonds and emotional responses affect daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to address persistent anxiety, anger, and mood problems. Trauma-focused approaches are used when past hurt continues to disrupt relationships or wellbeing.
Brent aims to help people notice patterns, try different responses, and practice new ways of relating. He works with fathers and men on role and identity questions as part of that work. He also helps people dealing with career stress and compassion fatigue to find clearer priorities.
Sessions are offered in English and Brent accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions operate through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To get started, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.
How his approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and label core emotions and the ways those feelings shape interactions. It is often used when patterns of disconnection, intense reactions, or repeated arguments are present. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and helps people notice and change repeated responses tied to connection and security.Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will review a client’s goals, history, and preferences and then suggest which methods to prioritize. That plan can change over time as new issues arise or progress is made, keeping the work collaborative and practical.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into workdays, reduce travel time, and make scheduling simpler. Video can support seeing nonverbal cues and interaction patterns, while shorter checks by phone can help maintain momentum when time is limited. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises used in EFT and attachment work to suit the online setting so clients can practice new ways of relating in their daily life.
