About Brooke

Brooke Bodar is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and related family issues. She speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person. Brooke aims to create a safe, down-to-earth space where people feel understood and can start making workable changes.

Brooke grew up in a small Wyoming town and studied Communication Disorders before shifting to mental health.

Background and approach

She earned a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and holds a Wyoming LPC license (LPC-1722). She has three years of professional counseling experience across community mental health and school settings, and she continues part-time independent practice work alongside her school counseling role. In sessions Brooke relies on empathic listening and honest feedback.

She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and build trust. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for clear tools to manage thoughts and behaviors, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and practical steps. Brooke often works with people dealing with trauma, grief, mood disorders, ADHD, postpartum concerns, parenting stress, and workplace issues.

She also addresses attachment problems, forgiveness, life purpose, and the financial stress that affects relationships. Her style is warm and straightforward, helping people name problems and try small, realistic changes. Outside of work Brooke enjoys riding horses, hiking in the mountains, and spending time with her family and animals.

She is based in Wyoming and offers services in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Brooke commonly combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client's pace, which helps people feel heard and begin to explore what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers clear tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing a method is a shared process. Brooke works with each person to decide which approaches match their goals and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans so the work stays relevant and doable for the client.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, and daily life. They also allow for ongoing check-ins, short coaching-style messages, or full-length sessions depending on what a person needs. The goal is to provide flexible, practical support that helps people try skills between sessions and move toward clearer choices.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
