She also assists clients facing trauma, issues related to LGBT identity, ADHD, bipolar concerns, infidelity, jealousy, and self-harm in a respectful manner. Brooke has three years of professional experience as an LMFT and uses that background to offer practical, compassionate support. She encourages clients to be active partners in therapy and focuses on realistic steps people can take between sessions.

Evidence-based approaches for online care and parenting support
Brooke draws on humanistic and interpersonal approaches in online sessions. The humanistic approach centers on treating people with respect and curiosity, helping them name feelings, notice strengths, and set personally meaningful goals. This style often helps with motivation, self-esteem, and parenting stress.The interpersonal perspective looks at how relationships and everyday interactions shape mood and behavior. It helps people see patterns in how they relate to others and try small, practical changes to improve communication and closeness. This can be useful for intimacy concerns, relationship strain, and conflicts that affect family life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Brooke will discuss goals and preferences, try approaches that fit those needs, and adjust plans as progress is made. The process is collaborative and focused on what actually helps the person move forward.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video and phone allow longer conversations and check-ins, while chat and messaging can be used for quick updates, brief coaching, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days while keeping continuity of care.
