How Brooke’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small, committed steps toward them. It helps when worry, avoidance, or anger keep you from living the life you want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions to build practical skills for mood, anxiety, and anger management. It uses exercises and practice between sessions to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brooke listens to your goals and preferences and suggests methods that fit your life and values. She adapts tools from different approaches so the plan matches your progress and what you want to achieve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you have a full session with visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill coaching, or when fitting a session into a busy day. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving, or other obligations.
