Background and approach

Sessions often include learning new coping skills and practicing ways to name and tolerate difficult emotions. She also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, chronic pain or illness, and problems with isolation and loneliness. Brooke helps people address guilt, shame, and forgiveness as part of everyday healing.

She pays attention to how identity and sexuality shape mood and self-worth. Brooke works with clients facing stress related to life purpose, mood shifts, or post-traumatic stress. Her approach is collaborative: she helps set small goals and tracks what works.

The aim is realistic change that fits a client’s schedule and values. Therapy with Brooke centers on building practical skills and self-understanding. She encourages clients to try strategies between sessions and to adjust the plan as needed.

Brooke practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English.

How Brooke Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online

Brooke uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build skills that reduce stress and anxiety. One common approach she uses teaches practical coping strategies for managing intense emotions and daily stressors. This involves identifying triggers, practicing calming skills, and trying brief exercises between sessions to build resilience.

Another approach focuses on improving communication and self-compassion. Sessions include role-play or rehearsing difficult conversations, and exercises that shift self-critical thoughts toward kinder, more realistic ones. These methods are useful for people struggling with isolation, low self-esteem, or relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Brooke works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, needs, and comfort level. She reviews progress regularly and adjusts plans so techniques feel useful and doable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for a short check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick reflections, ongoing support, and for fitting therapy into a busy day.
