About Brook
Brook Algarin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina who focuses on helping people move past old patterns and feel calmer in day-to-day life. She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people who are stressed, anxious, depressed, or struggling with relationship and parenting concerns. Brook listens first, then helps people decide what to try next.
Brook draws on 25 years of clinical experience to guide gentle but straightforward work.
Background and approach
She often blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral approaches to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness skills and dialectical behavior strategies are added when people need tools to manage intense emotions or daily stress. EMDR is also among the approaches she uses to address traumatic memories that keep showing up.
Sessions include pacing, grounding, and techniques that help people notice how the past affects the present. Brook aims to create steadier, more manageable responses to memories and triggers. People come to her for a range of concerns, including parenting strain, sleep problems, career stress, self-esteem issues, grief over life changes, and mood disorders such as bipolar and depression.
She also works with concerns related to identity and LGBT issues and relationship or family conflict. Therapy sessions can be scheduled in formats that fit a busy life, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Brook describes change as a step-by-step process and helps people set realistic goals and skills they can use between sessions.

Online support
Approaches that fit your life and work online
Client-centered therapy starts with listening and builds from what matters to the individual. It helps people feel understood and sets the pace for change while honoring personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to address disturbing memories that keep returning; it combines focused recall with guided processing to reduce the intensity of those memories.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and may blend methods over time. Together they choose which tools to practice between sessions and how to adjust pace as coping improves.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for longer sessions and skills practice, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing brief contact and reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, and family routines while keeping progress steady.
