Brooke Bowen, LPC

Brooke Bowen is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 22 years of experience. She greets people with calm, straightforward care and helps them take practical steps when life feels overwhelming. Brooke focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues related to addiction and ADHD.

She takes time to listen to each person's story without judgment. Sessions aim to identify what is most pressing now and build small, useful skills to manage emotions and behavior. Brooke draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to shape flexible plans that fit each person’s needs.

Her background includes a double Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Criminal Justice with a focus on forensic investigations, plus a Master of Science in Psychology and additional graduate work in criminal justice and community agency counseling. Those experiences inform a practical, grounded style in session.

Brooke describes her manner as warm, supportive, and encouraging. She helps people understand how the past influences current patterns, then practices concrete strategies to cope and move forward. Her goal is to help clients find clearer direction and more confidence in everyday life.

Brooke offers sessions that may include talking through problems, practicing coping tools, and setting manageable goals. She welcomes questions about how therapy would fit someone’s schedule and concerns.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Brooke commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her online practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change habits. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice difficult feelings, clarify personal values, and take committed action toward what matters despite discomfort.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Brooke will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then recommend strategies and adjust them over time. Together they decide which tools feel most useful and practical for day-to-day life.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can support shorter check-ins, and messaging is helpful for ongoing reflections between sessions. These options let people fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or long-distance situations.
