How Brooke’s approaches translate to online therapy
Brooke blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral strategies to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try practical behavior changes. CBT focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.She also uses solution-focused methods that look for small actions with big impact and motivational interviewing to encourage and support readiness for change. Solution-focused work helps set clear, short-term goals while motivational interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about taking steps forward.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Brooke will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins, live chat is handy for brief focused exchanges, and messaging lets people share updates or reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
