About Brenita

Brenita Seay is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee with 14 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and challenges with self-esteem. Brenita aims to make it easier for someone to take that first step toward change.

Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental so clients can speak openly about hard things. Brenita emphasizes clear, practical conversation in sessions. She listens first to understand each person’s story and what matters most to them.

Background and approach

From there she and the client identify small, doable steps to reduce distress and build strengths. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and how to get there. Her work draws on narrative ideas that look at personal stories and meanings.

She also uses client-centered methods that center the client’s voice, cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thinking and mindfulness practices to manage stress. Brenita adapts these approaches to fit each person’s needs and preferences. She is mindful of session time and asks clients to honor a 10-minute grace period for 30-minute appointments and a 15-minute grace period for 45-minute appointments.

After that time a session is recorded as a no-show and needs to be rescheduled. This helps preserve time needed to address presenting concerns. People who want clear, steady support for life transitions, parenting strain, grief, anger, or career and focus issues may find her style useful.

Brenita aims to help clients feel more able to cope, make decisions, and move toward a more livable day-to-day life.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Brenita directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How this therapist uses narrative and practical methods online

Brenita often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. That approach looks for alternative meanings and moments of strength in a person’s life and can help with grief, identity shifts, and relationship patterns. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which puts the client's goals and perspective at the center of each session and emphasizes empathetic listening and support.

She frequently brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques into online work to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood swings. Brenita treats finding the right combination of methods as a collaborative process; she will work with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and comfort level and adjust over time based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for more in-depth conversation and teaching new skills. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to use around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
