About Brenda
Brenda Parker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 35 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, anger, and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and American Sign Language.
Brenda focuses on practical work that people can use right away. She listens to what causes someone to lose their temper or steadily simmer with resentment. Then she helps them try small, concrete changes to thoughts, actions, and routines. Conversations are direct and plain so someone can test what works between appointments.
Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods. That means clients look at what matters most to them, notice unhelpful thinking patterns, and practice different responses to strong feelings. The work often includes short exercises and experiments to apply between sessions.
Brenda has long experience guiding people through family tensions, communication problems, codependency, and caregiving stress. She also supports those facing abandonment, separation, guilt, shame, hoarding, or challenges related to hearing impairment. Her background gives a broad base for steady, practical problem solving.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without fighting them and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is useful when anger comes from unmet needs or repeated patterns that leave someone feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful reactions in the moment. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working at a persons pace so they can try changes they feel ready for.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Brenda treats decisions about approach as a collaboration. She will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most for a persons daily life and relationships.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, join from different parts of Texas, or use fewer commuting hours. They also allow short check-ins and homework-focused meetings that keep progress moving between standard sessions.
