Approaches that guide online conversations

Brooke often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take action toward those values, even when emotions are strong. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new skills for coping and problem solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brooke views treatment as a team effort and will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they adjust methods over time so sessions stay focused on concrete progress and daily life needs.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy useful because it can fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online conversations also make it easier to practice skills between sessions and to bring real-life examples into the work.
