About Brooke

Brooke Bowen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than two decades of experience. She speaks directly and kindly to people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or worn out, and she focuses on clear steps that help with everyday struggles. Brooke acknowledges that reaching out can be hard and values the courage it takes to begin therapy.

She draws on a broad educational background that includes a double Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Criminal Justice, a Master of Science in Psychology, and additional graduate work in Criminal Justice and Community Agency Counseling. Brooke has worked in many settings since 2003 and has experience with a wide range of issues and life stages.

Her style is warm, nonjudgmental, and encouraging. Sessions are collaborative and practical. She listens to what matters most, helps people sort priorities, and offers strategies that fit individual lives.

Brooke uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. She combines evidence-informed techniques to address stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, addictions, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, parenting strain, career changes, and other life challenges. The work often includes learning new coping skills, examining unhelpful patterns, and building clearer goals.

People from Service and civilian life may find her background relevant when navigating career transitions, trauma, or the stress of major life change. Brooke aims to help clients understand their past, cope in the present, and move toward a more fulfilling future.

How Brooke’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values, then take small committed steps toward what matters. It can help with anxiety, depression, and big life transitions by shifting what actions feel meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to change patterns of thinking and behavior, often through short exercises and experiments that reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections, and it can be useful when intimacy, grief, or trust are central concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brooke collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in to see what helps and adjusts the plan as needed, so therapy evolves with the client's needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available session options before booking. The online format can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists can use online sessions to teach coping skills, review exercises, and keep goal-focused momentum between meetings.
