About Brae

Brae Jacobson is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on guiding people through stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship struggles, and trauma. Her tone is warm and practical, and she offers clear steps rather than rose-colored promises.

Brae keeps sessions straightforward. She listens first, then helps clients name what feels off and choose small, workable changes. Conversations are geared toward real-life problems like work stress, money worries, grief, or the push and pull of important relationships.

Background and approach

She offers coaching-style guidance alongside therapeutic tools when that fits a client's needs. Her training includes Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and she also uses Motivational Interviewing and Trauma-Focused methods. In practice this means Brae pays attention to each person’s goals and helps break larger problems into manageable steps.

She uses practical exercises and thoughtful questions rather than lengthy lectures. Sessions often focus on immediate coping skills and clearer communication. Topics might include codependency, caregiver stress, family patterns, midlife changes, or navigating divorce and separation.

Brae helps people build routines and small habits that reduce overwhelm and restore a sense of control. Parents looking for straightforward support around parenting, family issues, or managing life transitions will find a collaborative approach. She works in English and provides sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit busy family life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s priorities. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offers empathy, and helps clarify goals so sessions stay relevant to what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks larger problems into smaller parts and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that interfere with daily routines.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust as the work progresses. Clients help shape the plan and can switch emphasis if something isn’t working.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These formats let people fit sessions around work, school, or parenting demands. They also allow for quick check-ins and ongoing support between longer appointments, while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
