About Brae
Brae Jacobson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or major life changes. Brae works with people coping with relationship strain, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, and career or money worries.
Brae uses straightforward conversation to help clients notice what isn’t working and try new ways of coping. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space.
How Brae works
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that keep problems going. Many clients come with complex issues that overlap, such as mood disorders combined with family-of-origin concerns or caregiver stress. Brae pays attention to how these problems interact and helps people prioritize what to tackle first.
She offers practical strategies and short-term goal work alongside deeper emotional processing when needed. Sessions move at a client’s pace, with a mix of listening, teaching, and collaborative problem solving. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used to build motivation and identify small, workable steps.
Trauma-focused methods are available for people who need focused support around past harm. Brae aims for clear, usable outcomes: better coping during hard moments, improved communication patterns, and a stronger sense of direction. She speaks English and practices in Texas.
People choose from video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what fits their life.

Approaches that guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on treating the person with respect and empathy. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the person find their own solutions; it works well for people who want a supportive space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and then try different actions to break those cycles; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Motivational Interviewing is a brief, practical method that builds a client’s own motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening commitment to small steps.The therapist approaches choice of method collaboratively. Early sessions focus on understanding the person's goals, history, and preferences so the right mix of techniques can be chosen. Over time Brae will adjust the approach based on what is helping most, combining skills training, problem solving, and emotional processing as needed.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people with busy or complicated schedules. Video calls let conversations feel more like in-person sessions, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, quick skill reminders, or a way to continue momentum between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving routines, or travel without losing continuity of care.
