About Brenda
Brenda Burrell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Wisconsin with 18 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues like self-esteem and anger. Her practice also includes support for coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and concerns tied to veterans and armed forces experiences.
She uses straightforward talk and practical tools in sessions. Brenda draws on client-centered methods to listen and clarify what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to manage emotion and behavior when things feel intense.
In sessions she blends mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people stay present and find their own reasons to change. That can look like short, action-focused exercises, skill practice between meetings, or step-by-step planning to reduce risky behavior related to addiction.
Brenda aims to make therapy a place to sort through feelings, improve communication, and build coping skills that fit daily life. She pays attention to how work, family, money, and health pressures show up and affect mood and behavior. People meet to talk through specific problems and leave with clear next steps.
She practices from Mississippi and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details.
BHow sessions work
How Brenda’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client guides the conversation. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist help clarify concerns and priorities while the client sets goals and pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions CBT often involves brief exercises, homework between meetings, and practical steps to change unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety or depression.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing risky behavior. When used online, DBT skill coaching can include short practice in sessions and planning simple daily strategies to improve emotional regulation.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That might mean trying a few techniques and adjusting what’s used based on how helpful they feel.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, require less travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the available session types and scheduling to see how they can fit into everyday life.
