Background and approach
Brooke aims to make the first steps into therapy feel calmer and more manageable for new clients. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, and self-esteem.
Brooke also helps people cope with life changes, compassion fatigue, intimacy concerns, and trauma. Additional areas she works with include career questions, sleep problems, ADHD, bipolar-related challenges, and issues linked to relationships and infidelity.
Brooke uses an interpersonal, humanistic perspective in sessions. That means she listens for relationship patterns, emotional needs, and strengths you already have.
The work is conversational and collaborative, with attention to how connection and safety affect change. Sessions typically start by getting to know what matters most to the person.
Brooke helps clarify goals, introduces practical ways to manage symptoms, and supports building new habits over time. She leans on a strengths-based view so clients can use what they already do well.
With three years of professional experience, Brooke brings a steady, hopeful approach. She welcomes questions and aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable.
The focus is on small, realistic steps toward feeling more in control.
How interpersonal therapy adapts to online care
Brooke uses a humanistic, interpersonal approach that focuses on relationships, emotional understanding, and building connection. In online sessions she listens for how interaction patterns affect mood and day-to-day life, then helps clients name and shift those patterns. This approach can be useful for anxiety, grief, and relationship-related concerns.She also uses practical, strengths-based techniques that emphasize small behavioral changes and coping skills. These tools help with symptoms like worry, sleep disruption, low motivation, and navigating life transitions. The work is collaborative so therapist and client decide which methods to try together.
Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. Brooke will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they choose tactics and adjust them over time based on progress and comfort.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Video works well for deeper conversational work when face-to-face interaction helps. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short updates, homework check-ins, or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
