About Brooke

Brooke Bodar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wyoming who works with adults facing a wide range of challenges including anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, trauma, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She aims to help people regain confidence and clarify goals by building a collaborative relationship rooted in empathy and authenticity. Brooke brings a warm, approachable manner and prioritizes helping clients feel heard so they can explore how their experiences shape current thoughts and behavior.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Communication Disorders and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling, followed by clinical work in community mental health and school counseling.

With three years of professional counseling experience, she integrates client-centered values with evidence-informed techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused strategies, and emotionally focused approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. Outside of practice she enjoys horseback riding, family time, and outdoor life in Wyoming, and she is pursuing certification in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Brooke commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working with clients online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or depression and to build practical coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist offers empathy and genuine presence to help clients explore values, emotions, and choices.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Brooke works with clients to clarify goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what is most helpful, combining techniques from different approaches when appropriate to match individual needs and preferences.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. These formats make it easier to schedule regular sessions, continue care through life changes, and access support from home or another convenient location while still working with licensed professionals.
