About Brooke
Brooke Bowen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience. She greets people with warmth and a nonjudgmental stance. Brooke focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship or intimacy concerns.
She uses straightforward, practical conversation to understand what’s happening now and what has shaped it. Brooke draws on several approaches to tailor sessions to each person. That means she might use skills-based work one week and a deeper, attachment-focused conversation the next.
Background and approach
Brooke earned a double Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Criminal Justice with a focus on forensic investigations, and a Master of Science in Psychology. She has also done graduate work in criminal justice and community agency counseling. Her training and long experience include many settings and a wide range of life situations.
In sessions she aims to help people name unhelpful patterns, build small practical skills, and create values-based goals. She also works with trauma, anger, body image and concerns around sexuality and identity without judgment. Brooke can help people cope with chronic illness, caregiving stress, career transitions, and parenting strain.
People who choose Brooke often want a therapist who listens, explains options plainly, and adapts methods as needs change. Her approach combines empathy with concrete tools so people can move forward at a realistic pace.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and testing new ways of responding with practical exercises and homework that build coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brooke uses a collaborative process to match therapy methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She combines skills training and reflective, attachment-focused conversations when that best supports progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face experience, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to get consistent help around work, caregiving, or busy days.
