About Brent
Brent Ruebensam is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and substance use concerns. Brent aims to meet people where they are and shape sessions around each person's needs.
He uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies rather than jargon. Sessions cover thinking patterns, behavior changes, emotional regulation, and ways to improve day-to-day functioning.
Background and approach
He treats trauma, anger, grief, and intimacy-related concerns with patience and respect. Brent also works with people facing relationship struggles, issues tied to family of origin, and challenges like co-dependency, abandonment, or control problems. He pays attention to attachment issues and how early connections affect current relationships.
Communication problems and commitment concerns are addressed with concrete communication skills and problem-solving steps. His approach draws from several evidence-informed methods, including Attachment-Based Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and client-centered care. He adapts these tools to each person's values and goals rather than applying one fixed method.
Brent offers sessions remotely by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. He communicates clearly about scheduling and works with clients to create a practical plan that fits their life and availability.

Online support
How attachment and skills-based therapies work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current bonds. Online sessions can be used to talk through these patterns and practice new ways of relating to others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying values and taking small steps toward them. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where a person wants more meaning and direction. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client's own goals. The therapist follows the client's lead and offers support that feels respectful and nonjudgmental. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what is helpful. Clients and the therapist make decisions together about which tools to use. Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates, homework exchanges, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent momentum toward change.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
