Brooke Bodar

Brooke Bodar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wyoming. She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, parenting strain, and coping with life changes. Brooke writes plainly and listens closely to help people feel understood and find practical next steps.

Brooke grew up in a small Wyoming town and earned a Bachelor of Science in Communication Disorders in 2013. She later completed a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling in 2016 and began work at a community mental health practice. She has three years of post-licensure experience supporting people through difficult seasons of life.

Her approach centers on a strong therapeutic relationship built from genuine empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. Brooke uses that foundation to help people talk through their experiences, shift how they see themselves and their problems, and build confidence to try new choices. She emphasizes plain language and simple, doable steps in sessions.

Brooke integrates methods from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, existential therapy, and solution-focused therapy. She aims to match tools to what a person needs most, whether that means addressing mood symptoms, attachment concerns, workplace stress, or grief. Brooke also has an interest in equine-assisted work and is pursuing related certification.

Outside of counseling she spends time with her family, her dog, and her horses. She enjoys riding and getting into the mountains when she can.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Brooke often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused ideas. Client-centered therapy means the therapist listens deeply and follows what matters most to the person, helping them feel heard while they sort things out. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and uses concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-focused ideas help people name and process strong emotions and improve how they relate to themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Brooke works collaboratively to learn what a person needs and then suggests methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly to make sure the chosen approach is helpful and adapts the plan as things change.

If you are considering online work, confirm the therapist's current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time to meetings. Those practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while they work on stress, anger, mood, and relationship concerns.
