Brooke Bodar , LPC

Brooke Bodar grew up in a small Wyoming town where a love of horses and the outdoors shaped much of her early life. She went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Communication Disorders from the University of Wyoming in 2013, working with people who had speech challenges before deciding to specialize in mental health. Brooke completed a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling in 2016 and began practicing as a Licensed Professional Counselor. As a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - she is credentialed to provide professional mental health counseling and therapy.

After graduation Brooke joined a community mental health practice, supporting clients of all ages through difficult transitions and life stressors. In 2017 she became a mother, which led her to shift part of her focus to school counseling while continuing part-time work in a private mental health practice. She also is pursuing certification in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, bringing together her background with horses and clinical training.

Brooke emphasizes a therapeutic relationship grounded in unconditional positive regard, empathy, and authenticity. She believes those qualities create a space where people can explore their experiences, reconsider their self-perceptions, and build confidence to make meaningful choices. Outside of work she enjoys riding horses, spending time in the mountains, and caring for her family and animals. Brooke is enthusiastic about connecting with people and supporting them through change.

How Brooke’s Therapeutic Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens deeply and supports the client’s own goals. This approach helps people who want to explore identity, relationships, and choices at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based method that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT can be effective for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching tools for coping and problem solving.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships, helping clients improve connection and process strong feelings. It is often helpful for relationship struggles and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Brooke will work with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors care over time as circumstances change.

Online therapy with Brooke is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular sessions, try approaches in real time, and maintain continuity of care even when life is busy or travel is difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to deliver meaningful, accessible support.
