More about Brenda

Hello ! I am glad you are reaching out for support. It is my belief that most people have the ability to grow and build on their own strengths; however, at times, need empowerment and encouragement. My goal is to help you work on and accomplish your goals, regardless of how big or how small they may be.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) for the state of Texas and I received my Master's from Texas Woman’s University. My approach to working with individuals includes a collaborative approach where solutions, instead of problems, are the focus. I believe that one of the main goals is to give clients the tools and skills they need to make positive changes in their lives.

I would consider my counseling style as integrative, as I like to pull from a variety of therapeutic techniques such as C.B.T., solution-focused, mindfulness, importance of wellness (physical, emotional, social, intellectual, spiritual, environmental, occupational), etc.

My clients tell me they feel comfortable working with me and appreciate that our sessions are productive.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Bren has helped me through a very difficult time. I love the combination of dialogue and action based advice that I get. She’s very receptive and adaptive. I can see her helping me adjust strategies when we learn something doesn’t work. I’m very appreciative of her.

She is very supportive and helped me walk through additional contributing factors to my particular situation. After we'd arrived at the new factors, she provided resources and guidance on how to mentally prepare for future similar situations. At no point did I feel as though she wasnt equipped to answer a question or help walk through a thought process. BREN is very supportive of my requests, timely with responses, and flexible with hours.

Bren has been my rock in the most turbulent times. Bren has been my therapist for almost 2 years. While I began therapy for help coping with a medical diagnosis, Bren has been with me through losing both of my parents. Bren's compassion, care, and knowledge shines through in every session. Bren listens, provides wonderful suggestions and support, and helps me to navigate challenges. I am forever grateful for Bren's help.

Bren is very helpful. She listens to what I need to say and not only gives good advice for the now but for bigger picture long term goals. She has a wonderful way to brighten perspectives and I’ve very much enjoyed her as a therapist.

Reviewed February 2022

Bren is very professional. She is calm, kind, and listens well to all of my feedback and concerns. She gives me advice that I find effective and alternatives when I struggle to complete the goals that I had set out. Unlike previous counselors I have sought out, Bren does not suggest solutions or strategies where the solution and the problem are the same, e.g. she does not suggest getting over my anxiety by just ignoring it or assuming it will go away. I would recommend Bren to anyone else using the BetterHelp app.
