About Brae

Brae Jacobson is an LPC based in Texas who brings a decade of professional counseling experience to her practice. She offers a compassionate, client-centered approach that emphasizes practical strategies and collaborative problem solving.

Background and approach

Brae helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and grief, and relationship or parenting challenges by listening carefully and offering perspective and gentle redirection. Her work combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-focused methods to build clearer thinking patterns and actionable coping skills.

Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are woven in to support change, set realistic goals, and identify strengths that move clients forward. Brae emphasizes developing new strategies when old ways of coping are no longer effective, addressing workplace pressures, communication difficulties, caregiver strain, and life transitions with practical tools and steady support.

How Brae's Methods Translate to Online Therapy

Brae draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT sessions typically focus on noticing patterns, testing new behaviors, and practicing coping tools that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize listening, empathy, and the client's own goals. This approach helps build a collaborative relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports their values and motivation. Motivational Interviewing is another method she uses to clarify readiness for change and to set realistic, personally meaningful goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and she works together with each person to find what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. In online work this collaboration includes discussing which methods feel most helpful and adjusting the pace and focus as progress unfolds.

Practically, online therapy with Brae can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and people in different locations within Texas. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try out tools between sessions, and access support without extensive travel.
