Brodi Bourque, Intern

I grew up in Colorado and moved to Louisiana at age 12, where family has always been an important part of my life. I share my home with my 13-year-old black lab, Nola, who keeps me active and grounded. Outside of counseling, I enjoy reading, journaling, spending time in nature, and exploring local coffee shops, libraries, and museums. I’ve also worked at LSU for the past three years, which has been a meaningful part of my professional journey.

I was drawn to psychology at a young age out of a curiosity about people and their stories. I value creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and able to move forward at their own pace.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. I focus on creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel understood and respected. I draw from person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, and trauma-informed care to help clients build insight and practical coping skills. Sessions often include emotional awareness, grounding techniques, and psychoeducation to support daily life.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in university, private practice, and telehealth settings. I tailor therapy to each client’s strengths, goals, and needs, with an emphasis on building resilience and creating meaningful change at a pace that feels comfortable.

 I enjoy working with adolescents ages twelve and up, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, stress, grief, identity development, and major life transitions. I am especially passionate about supporting clients who feel overwhelmed or uncertain about their next steps and want to build confidence and balance in daily life. 

 I have experience in the following areas: 

• Anxiety & Stress
• Depression
• Grief & Loss
• Identity development
• Relationship & Interpersonal Concerns
