About Brent

Brent Ruebensam is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. He has worked extensively with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood conditions such as bipolar and depression, substance-related issues, and challenges around relationships, intimacy, and self-esteem.

Background and approach

Brent approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and adapts conversations and treatment plans to the individual's needs and goals. Clients seeking support for grief, anger, ADHD, or difficulties stemming from family of origin, attachment, or codependency will find a therapist who emphasizes tailored care rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

His practice also addresses complex presentations including co-morbidity, dissociation, domestic violence effects, and addiction recovery concerns. Brent focuses on empowering clients to take steps toward meaningful change and a more fulfilling life, offering steady guidance throughout the process.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Access

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action toward them while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mood-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore which methods best align with their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, adjusting strategies over time as progress and needs evolve.

Online therapy provides practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit regular sessions into busy schedules and varied routines. These options allow licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care across different circumstances while tailoring session format to what helps each person engage most effectively in their work.
