About Brooke
Brooke Ayoub is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship concerns. Brooke combines practical strategies with a calm, down-to-earth approach so conversations feel straightforward and useful from the first session.
Brooke draws on a mix of therapies to match what each person needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and reactions.
Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name values and take small steps toward them. She also brings elements of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for processing trauma when appropriate. Her background includes work in crisis intervention and supporting people with a range of diagnoses, including bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress.
That experience informs how she helps clients handle intense emotions, impulsivity, and life transitions. She also supports parents and people navigating blended family issues and caregiver stress. Brooke incorporates mindfulness and movement practices into sessions when clients want them, drawing on her Registered Yoga Teacher experience.
She aims to make therapy practical - teaching breathing and grounding skills, offering simple behavioral experiments, and setting clear, achievable goals. Clients can expect a collaborative style. Brooke listens first, then offers tools and plans that fit daily life.
She treats people as the experts of their own lives and works alongside them to reduce overwhelm and build coping skills.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Brooke commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns, test those ideas with small experiments, and change unhelpful behaviors. This approach works well for anxiety, depression, anger, and everyday stress because it focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which centers on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them. ACT is useful for people who feel stuck with strong emotions or want help aligning daily choices with what matters to them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brooke discusses options with each person and helps choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and life demands. She adjusts techniques over time so sessions stay relevant and helpful.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other's expressions and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option when video isn't possible. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick check-ins, brief coaching, or follow-up between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving routines, or times when a shorter check-in is needed.
