She has worked in a range of settings since 2003 and has experience with many backgrounds and life stages.

Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, practical skills, and understanding how past experiences shape current reactions.

She often uses techniques that help a person notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed, and skills to change unhelpful patterns of behavior. Brooke also pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns that show up in adult life.
Together she and the client plan steps toward feeling more in control and aligned with personal values. Brooke practices in Alabama and communicates in English. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

How Brooke's Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It focuses on small, values-driven steps so life can feel more meaningful despite hard emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns for issues like anxiety, sleeping trouble, or mood changes.Choosing an approach is a team effort. Brooke will talk with each person about what they want to achieve and which methods feel most useful. She adapts strategies over time so sessions match changing needs and progress.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues and face-to-face conversation help progress. Phone sessions can be simpler when internet bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to send quick updates, try brief skills practice, or stay connected between longer sessions.
