About Brenda
Brenda Burrell brings a client-centered approach grounded in cognitive behavioral techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictive behaviors, relationship struggles, and trauma.
Background and approach
She holds an LCSW and has 18 years of professional experience, practicing with attention to the full range of concerns listed in her specialties including depression, bipolar symptoms, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Brenda emphasizes collaboration and skills-building so clients can develop practical strategies for day-to-day coping and emotional regulation.
Licensed in Wisconsin and practicing from Mississippi, she creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where feelings and thoughts can be explored openly. Her work also attends to family dynamics, communication problems, guilt and shame, veteran and armed forces issues, and post-traumatic stress.
Motivational interviewing and mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions when helpful to support change and self-awareness. Brenda invites clients to take the courageous step toward a more balanced, satisfying life while offering steady support and guidance throughout the process.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Brenda commonly integrates cognitive behavioral approaches and client-centered work in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and developing practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and change unhelpful habits. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and supports clients in exploring feelings and values to guide their own change.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when appropriate, teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness techniques that are useful for managing intense emotions and improving communication. The therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit best, adapting techniques to match goals, preferences, and the particular challenges presented.
Online therapy with Brenda is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice new skills between sessions, and access support from wherever the client is located in Mississippi. Licensed professionals guide the process to help clients build lasting skills and move toward the changes they seek.
