How Brooke's approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a trusting connection, helping people feel understood as they work through stress, grief, parenting questions, or mood struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers concrete tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to feelings and attachment patterns to improve how people understand and respond to intense emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brooke treats the choice of methods as a collaboration. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adapt what she uses over time based on what helps most.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around school or work, shorter check-ins when a quick plan is needed, or minimizing travel to make regular appointments easier.
