How Brooke’s approaches translate to online work
Brooke uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as part of her practice. ACT focuses on clarifying values and learning to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them, which can help with chronic health struggles and persistent worry. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Brooke will listen to what matters most, discuss different methods, and tailor the plan to each person's goals and preferences. Together the client and therapist decide which tools to try and how to adapt them over time.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people try different exercises from home or during a break at work without committing to long travel. Ask about available formats when you start the matching process so scheduling and session style match your needs.
