About Brenda

Brenda Burrell is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of practice who blends empathic, client-centered care with evidence-based strategies. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction-related concerns, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar challenges, and the lingering effects of trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

Brenda emphasizes creating a respectful space where clients can explore emotions and changes at their own pace while developing tools to cope and heal. Her approach integrates practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy alongside mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing.

This combination supports work on self-esteem, anger, communication problems, and relationship strains, and it can be helpful for those navigating life transitions, compassion fatigue, or ADHD-related challenges. Licensed in Wisconsin and practicing in Mississippi, she offers a steady, strengths-focused presence to guide clients toward clearer goals and more manageable daily routines.

Integrating evidence-based approaches in online care



Brenda uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills for changing moods and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors. She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques that teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help manage intense emotions and improve communication.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to review goals, preferences, and evolving needs and will adapt methods over time so the work fits each person's life and priorities.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy provides flexibility for scheduling and different modes of engagement. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes, accommodate varied communication styles, and access support from a licensed professional without geographic constraints.
