About
Brenda Lauer is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Missouri with more than 15 years of clinical experience in private practice. She holds a Missouri counseling license (MO LPC 2003002001), a credential that indicates state licensure to provide professional counseling services, and she also works as a hypnosis coach.
She keeps a part-time schedule on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and typically sees clients in the afternoons in the Eastern Time zone. Over the years she has worked with military personnel, first responders, and people from many walks of life, addressing concerns such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, and ADHD.
Brenda offers a gentle, warm counseling style focused on understanding each person’s perspective and helping to expand their worldview. She approaches clients with respect, compassion, and empathy, and uses a variety of therapeutic methods including cognitive-behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, and humanistic approaches.
She does not rely on a one-size-fits-all model; instead she takes time to get to know each client and tailors treatment to the approach that fits best. Brenda believes therapy can lead to meaningful, positive change and that seeking help is an important step. She would welcome the opportunity to work with you.
