About Brae
Brae Jacobson is an LPC (licensed professional counselor) based in Texas who brings a calm, caring presence to sessions. She frames therapy as a collaborative place to talk through painful emotions and difficult relationships. She invites people to stop managing alone and to let the work of therapy bring more clarity and balance.
Brae uses straightforward conversation, practical strategies, and gentle guidance to help people cope with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and stress. She also addresses relationship strains, family of origin concerns, codependency, and grief. Her approach aims to restore problem-solving and hope when usual coping stops working.
With ten years of experience, Brae blends listening with clear direction. She offers perspective and redirection that people can apply between sessions. Work often focuses on reducing overwhelming feelings and improving day-to-day functioning.
Sessions can include short-term planning for a specific problem or longer work on deeper patterns such as communication problems, guilt and shame, or midlife concerns. Brae also supports people facing career stress, caregiver burden, and financial or workplace pressures.
She values a nonjudgmental relationship and practical steps over jargon. People who want a down-to-earth therapist who listens first and helps build doable changes may find her style helpful. To begin, follow the site process to match and schedule with her.
How Brae’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers on a respectful, listening-first relationship. The therapist follows the person’s pace, reflects what is said, and helps people feel heard so they can notice what they want to change. This approach fits concerns like low self-esteem, relationship stress, and grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It often involves trying small experiments, tracking thoughts and mood, and building new coping skills for anxiety, depression, and workplace stress.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and build motivation step by step. It pairs well with career shifts, habit change, and goals around caregiving or financial decisions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can shift as the work progresses so sessions stay focused and useful.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. That will tell you whether sessions are offered by video, phone, or another supported option. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time while keeping continuity of care with a licensed professional.
