About Brooke
Brooke Lesley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and difficult life changes. She aims to make therapy clear and practical so people can use it day to day. Brooke speaks plainly and focuses on what someone can do next, not on labels or jargon.
Brooke pays close attention to how the body and thoughts connect. She helps people notice physical sensations that come up with memories, beliefs, or triggers.
Background and approach
Using that awareness, she guides clients to respond differently to stress and to feel more steady in hard moments. Mindfulness and self-compassion are common tools in her work. Brooke teaches simple practices that reduce distress and build resilience.
She also uses approaches that look at attachment and life meaning to help people find more satisfying ways of relating and living. Brooke has a trauma-informed perspective and often includes somatic noticing and gentle processing for painful memories. She helps people who struggle with sleep, panic, addiction, or relationship and intimacy concerns, and supports those coping with illness, caregiving, or major loss.
Sessions combine listening, practical exercises, and collaborative planning. Brooke works with each person to set realistic goals and builds steps to reach them. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexible care.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Brooke often blends Attachment-Based Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online work. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and helps people try new patterns in relationships. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and body sensations without getting swept away, which can reduce panic and chronic worry.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brooke collaborates with each person to figure out what fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time based on what helps most. That teamwork helps tailor sessions to recovery from trauma, managing anxiety, or navigating life changes.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video helps when visual connection matters, phone can be easier with lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging works for quick check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between visits.
