About Brooke

Brooke Lesley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions. She draws on 12 years of practical experience to help people notice how their bodies and thoughts react in the moment. Sessions emphasize simple skills that reduce distress and help people move forward.

Brooke pays attention to bodily signals that show how someone is responding to stress or memories.

Background and approach

She uses mindfulness and self-compassion practices to help people build tolerance for difficult feelings. Those practices are paired with exploration of personal strengths so people can see possibilities beyond negative self-beliefs. Her work is grounded in the belief that people are the experts on their own lives.

Brooke aims to create a collaborative space where clients set goals and try realistic steps toward change. She uses talking, breathing, and grounding exercises that can be applied between sessions. Brooke also draws on EMDR and somatic ideas when addressing trauma and dissociation, using techniques that focus on memory and body sensations alongside talk work.

She helps people facing grief, chronic illness, caregiver stress, or complicated family-of-origin issues by breaking problems into manageable pieces. Brooke works with concerns such as depression, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, addictions, intimacy-related issues, and multicultural or LGBTQ matters. Her approach is practical, patient, and aimed at increasing day-to-day coping.

She supports people as they explore meaning, regain balance, and plan next steps for a life that feels more manageable.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online care

Brooke integrates EMDR-informed techniques and mindfulness-based work alongside attachment-based and client-centered principles. EMDR-focused methods look at distressing memories and how they show up in the body and mind, and are often used for trauma and past abuse. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment calm. Attachment-based and client-centered approaches focus on building a trusting relationship and following the client's goals to explore patterns and meaning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Brooke will talk with each person about their history, goals, and preferences and then suggest ways to combine techniques. Sessions may include guided attention exercises, body-awareness practices, or memory-processing steps based on what feels most helpful for the client.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls work well for guided exercises and face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for shorter check-ins, and live chat or text messaging can support people who prefer written check-ins or need quick coping tools between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other life demands while keeping the focus on clear, usable strategies.
