About Brae

Brae Jacobson is an LPC based in Texas who brings a decade of clinical experience to her practice. She emphasizes a compassionate, client-focused stance that supports people navigating stress, anxiety, mood concerns, grief, relationship strain, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Her approach blends practical skills with exploration of underlying patterns so clients can gain clearer perspective and feel more effective in daily life. Using a mixture of Internal Family Systems, client-centered work, and cognitive tools, she helps people identify internal parts, shift unhelpful thinking, and develop actionable coping strategies.

Brae integrates motivational and solution-focused techniques when clients want targeted change, such as career decisions, parenting challenges, or managing caregiver stress. She also addresses complex concerns like bipolar and other mood disorders, trauma and abuse, codependency, and family-of-origin issues.

In sessions she aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space while offering insight, practical suggestions, and collaborative planning. Prospective clients who are looking for a therapist that combines empathy with clear strategies may find her style a good fit.

Integrating therapeutic approaches in online care

Internal Family Systems (IFS) involves learning to recognize and relate to different internal parts, which can help when emotional patterns or conflict feel overwhelming; this approach supports work on trauma, self-criticism, and stuck relational patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, offering a respectful space where the person’s own priorities guide the work and growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to change feelings and behaviors, which can be particularly useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is an open, collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to assess needs, try strategies, and adapt methods based on what helps most, balancing insight-oriented work with concrete skill practice as appropriate.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and preferences. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try brief coaching-style check-ins, or engage in longer therapeutic work without needing to travel to a physical office.
