About Brooke
Brooke Bodar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical support for everyday challenges. She speaks plainly and listens closely to help parents and individuals sort through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strains, and other life pressures.
Brooke grew up in a small Wyoming town and trained first in communication disorders before shifting to mental health. She completed a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling in 2016 and has worked in community mental health and school settings. Her background includes part-time private practice alongside school counseling work and ongoing professional development in equine-assisted approaches.
In sessions she emphasizes a warm, accepting relationship. She centers empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard so people can feel heard and begin to change how they see themselves and their problems. Brooke believes most people have the inner resources to navigate hard times, and she focuses on helping them access those strengths.
Her style blends client-centered care with evidence-informed methods. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches, emotionally-focused techniques, existential questions, and solution-focused strategies to help clients try small, practical steps toward their goals.
Outside of work Brooke spends time with her family, dog, and horses. She enjoys being in the mountains and brings that same calm, down-to-earth presence to sessions.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. The therapist creates a supportive environment where people can talk through parenting worries, relationship tension, or grief and feel heard before choosing next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and daily stress by offering concrete strategies to test and shift thinking patterns.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional responses and how they affect relationships and self-understanding. It can help people notice patterns in closeness and conflict, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress and needs become clearer.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into day-to-day life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins or sessions that suit a work break. Ask about practical scheduling and session lengths when you arrange your first meeting.
