About Brandi
Brandi Bowman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 18 years of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and other life challenges. She listens closely, offers practical tools, and suggests simple exercises to try between sessions.
Her work is straightforward and geared toward parents and caregivers who need help handling daily struggles. Brandi keeps sessions warm and interactive.
Background and approach
She centers conversations on each person and uses strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for mood and behavior. She also draws on eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when processing traumatic memories. Together with clients she identifies small steps that make day-to-day life more manageable.
Her approach emphasizes trust and respect. She asks questions, offers feedback, and helps set achievable goals that match a family’s needs. Homework and practice are used to build steady progress between meetings.
Brandi treats people with dignity and expects therapy to be a team effort. Brandi has worked with a wide range of concerns including parenting dynamics, blended family issues, substance use, adult ADHD, anger, attachment and family of origin problems. She can help when families face big changes or ongoing stressors and when caregiving or chronic illness adds pressure.
Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so parents can fit therapy into busy schedules. Brandi speaks English and accepts international clients. Her Colorado license is CO LPC 0005883.
Approaches that translate to online family work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the parent or caregiver’s lead, reflects concerns, and helps people identify goals that feel doable. This approach is helpful when families need straightforward support and a respectful place to talk.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It breaks problems into clear steps and teaches practical skills for anxiety, mood, and anger. CBT is useful for parents who want concrete tools to try between sessions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, called EMDR, is used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact. When trauma is part of a family’s history, EMDR can help make past events less overwhelming so daily life becomes easier.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the family about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. This is a collaborative process with adjustments along the way.
Online therapy here is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those options make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, and caregiving. Remote formats also allow the therapist to check in with practical homework and share resources between meetings so progress continues outside of scheduled sessions.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
