About Me
Hi, my name is Brenda Thayer and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have been in the mental health field for 22 years, LPC for five years and Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor for 9 years. I have recently become a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor.
I believe in meeting the person where they are at, helping them reach their potential. I believe in treating the whole person for overall wellness and striving for reaching one’s goals and values in life.
I use an eclectic approach; cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy fused with motivational interviewing. I have experience using rational emotive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, gestalt therapy and solution focused therapy.
What you can expect from sessions include; questions so that I can get to know you better and to see how I can best help you, nonjudgmental and compassionate support, and energy to help you see your potential.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Brenda Thayer. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
She always knows what to talk about even though I do not sometimes. Also, she looks out for my best interest which is obvious because of her generous, fair, and knowledgeable advice that always turns out, in the end, to my benefit.
She's great very helpful
Only gives the basics, didn’t really try to get to know me or tried to set any call, video anything. invalided my feelings and left me feeling worse.
Brenda is kind and intuitive. She is sensitive to my needs and offers good advice. I look forward to working together more.
Brendas great and has been patient with my slow progress. Also persistant and caring when I go lengths without a counseling session, checking in and so on.
Brenda is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She helps me talk out issues I’m having and offers support and resources that guide me to finding positive solutions.
Brenda, I really appreciate your advice and our conversation we had over the phone. Hopefully I can have more soon
Brenda really is able to help me see my worth and value and helps me see situations in a new perspective in a way that’s easy for me to work through.
I’m just starting to work with Brenda and she has already helped me get more perspective on different parts of my life.
Brenda is amazing to work with. She helps me realize that my problems aren't that bad and there is hope. She is excellent at what she does
She's wonderful!
Brenda is great! I have been enrolled for about a month, and so far so good. She responds promptly, listens to my issues, and I feel like she truly cares.
