About Brooks
Brooks uses a mix of approaches rather than one single method. He often draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses existential perspectives that look at meaning, choice, and personal responsibility.
Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques appear in his work as well, giving people tools they can use between sessions. Trauma-focused ideas are available when past events are shaping current struggles. He tailors conversations about spirituality to match each person's beliefs when that is relevant to their care.
His practice addresses a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, addictions, grief, and issues around intimacy and relationships. He also supports people dealing with aging, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and questions of life purpose.
Brooks aims for clear, practical steps and a grounded, respectful tone in sessions. He combines formal training with lessons from his own life to help people move forward at a pace that feels manageable.

Approaches and what online sessions can look like
Brooks commonly uses cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness approaches. Cognitive-behavioral work focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes to see what helps. Mindfulness practice teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings, reduce reactivity, and build calm over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brooks will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and day-to-day life. That may mean trying a practical skills focus for weeks or spending time on meaning and life purpose when that fits better.
