About Brooke
Brooke Ayoub is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, and mood challenges. Brooke combines practical skills with a calm, grounded presence to help parents and individuals manage day-to-day struggles.
She uses a mix of approaches drawn from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered work. Sessions tend to focus on clear, usable tools – skills for managing anxiety, ways to rebuild trust after conflict, and strategies for handling big life changes.
Background and approach
Brooke also integrates mindfulness practices when helpful. Brooke has experience supporting people navigating family issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and the emotional effects of chronic illness or disability. She works with concerns such as anger, impulsivity, low self-esteem, communication problems, and relationship intimacy issues.
Her background includes crisis intervention and work with a range of mental health diagnoses. Therapy with Brooke emphasizes collaboration. She helps people identify values, set realistic goals, and try small experiments between sessions.
Work may include breathing and grounding exercises, thought-challenging skills, or paced exposure to difficult situations. Brooke offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the Start Therapy process.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Brooke uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice their values and take small steps toward them, even when feelings are painful. ACT can be useful for parenting stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try behavioral experiments that change how daily life feels.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Brooke works with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most. Clients often begin with practical skills and then layer in values work or exposure tasks as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you work face-to-face when schedules allow; phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Shorter check-ins by chat or text help maintain momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling parenting and daily demands.
