Braum doesn't counter mobility with strong CC. Lack of personal mobility without strong ability to apply any strong steroids to displace or lockdown opponents constantly. He has a slow and a stun. And technically he has no stun on every person he's hit with an auto attack or his Q which is another auto attack for all intended purposes.

In comparison to other supports Braum is far away from being a support that constantly locks down and prevents escapes. Leona still has that acclaim followed by Janna for strongest displacement and Thresh for strongest slow.

Braum is on the defense. He shouldn't initate but he's on the front lines hoping to block the enemy initation. There's next to nothing wrong with poking him with spammable spells. Either he falls back because he's taking too much damage or you kill him to elimnate him as a threat it's the standard problem for most tanks.

You may not be the best choice to initate a teamfight but you can't wait forever for someone else to make the move espescially if there is no one else.

You don't need a whole poke comp to be effective against Braum. In lane all you need is your support to be a ranged mage of some description who has a lot of harass and a Marksman who doesn't just auto and casts spells. Everyone else can be melee espescially the top laner and jungle. If the mid laner is mage I don't really think Braum could survive the random pokes of say a decent Ziggs or a Lux in mid game.
