About Brooke
Brooke Bowen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and life changes. She speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person. Brooke wants to help clients feel more able to cope and move forward with clearer goals.
Brooke earned a double Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Criminal Justice with a focus in Forensic Investigations, and a Master of Science in Psychology. She has also completed additional graduate work in Criminal Justice and Community Agency Counseling. Her academic background informs a practical, down-to-earth approach to care.
With 22 years in the field since 2003, Brooke has worked in a range of settings and with many different backgrounds. She describes her style as warm, nonjudgmental, and encouraging. Brooke combines several methods so each plan fits the person she is working with rather than using one fixed method.
Brooke blends approaches from cognitive and behavior-based therapies with acceptance and relational work. In sessions she focuses on understanding a person's history, naming current struggles, and building skills to manage mood, relationships, and stressful situations. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care concerns and related attachment issues.
Her aim is to help people find practical ways to cope now and to build toward goals that matter to them. Brooke encourages straightforward conversation about what is and isn't working, then adjusts the plan based on progress and changing needs. She welcomes questions about how therapy can fit into everyday life.
How Brooke's Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward chosen values and meaningful action. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and patterns, testing them, and practicing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and at how early bonds affect current trust, intimacy, and coping; it can be useful for grief, relationship strain, and adoption-related attachment concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brooke will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as things change so it fits the person rather than forcing one method.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed. It can also let someone meet with a licensed professional from a different location within the same state, depending on scheduling and licensing. Ask about format details when you schedule so sessions match your day-to-day needs.
