About Brook
Many clients come to Brook feeling exhausted from holding everything together. She listens for the specific scenes and self-criticism that keep returning. Then she works with each person to build small, doable changes that reduce overwhelm and increase moments of ease.
Her approach blends client-centered care with tools from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness practices. Those methods are used to spot unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and practice being grounded in the present. Brook also draws on dialectical behavior strategies and EMDR when past memories continue to disrupt daily functioning.
She supports people with concerns like parenting strain, relationship problems, low self-esteem, depression, and sleep trouble. Career issues and life-purpose questions are part of her practice as well. Additional focus areas include grief over family changes, caregiver stress, fertility-related concerns, and panic symptoms.
Brook has practiced for 25 years in South Carolina. Her style is calm and down-to-earth. She encourages people to name what they want to feel and then work toward it in realistic steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. Online sessions let the therapist follow the client's lead, clarify goals, and use simple steps that fit daily life. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then practices concrete skills to change them; online meetings make it easy to review homework and try new habits between sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep, which can be practiced during short check-ins with the therapist.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which combination of methods fits best based on goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. That process may shift over time as needs change and new challenges arise.
Session formats are not specified in the source biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online care helpful because it can fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time for appointments. Online conversations also make it easier to review practice tools, follow progress, and keep therapy consistent while balancing work and family responsibilities.
