About Brooke
Brooke Bodar is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. She is direct and approachable in sessions, and she aims to make conversations feel calm and manageable for busy parents and adults. Brooke grew up in a small Wyoming town and has a background in communication disorders.
She later completed a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and began working in community mental health.
Background and approach
That work exposed her to a wide range of concerns and shaped her down-to-earth style. After becoming a parent, Brooke shifted some of her time to school counseling while continuing part-time independent practice work. She values building a trusting connection first, then helping people notice patterns that keep them stuck.
She encourages practical steps people can try between sessions to test what helps. Her approach centers on listening with empathy, being genuine, and helping people use their own strengths to face problems. Brooke draws on client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral strategies and emotionally-focused ideas when those tools fit.
Outside of therapy she spends time with her family, horses, and dog, and enjoys the mountains. That personal love of nature and animals also informs her interest in equine-assisted work as a future direction.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and genuine connection so people feel understood and accepted; it helps when someone needs a calm space to talk through hard emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers clear, step-by-step tools to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognize and work through strong emotions to build more stable self-understanding and more effective emotional responses.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Brooke will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts plans as progress and life circumstances change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and gesture cues; phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text let people write out thoughts between meetings or have brief, timely support during a busy day. These options can make it easier to keep consistent care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
