About Brooke
Brooke Ayoub is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York. She brings five years of clinical experience to sessions and blends practical tools with a gentle, person-focused style. Brooke centers care on clear goals and steady progress rather than jargon or vague promises.
Brooke uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. She draws on these methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar challenges, and trauma-related concerns.
How Brooke works
Sessions are aimed at building skills for everyday life and coping with big changes. Her work often addresses relationship and family struggles, parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, and communication problems. Brooke also pays attention to areas such as caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and managing chronic illness or pain.
She helps people facing anger, impulsivity, jealousy, commitment doubts, or life-purpose questions. Brooke’s background includes experience in crisis intervention and suicide prevention within mental health settings. She supports clients who want both short-term coaching and longer therapeutic work.
Her style is collaborative - she listens, offers feedback, and helps people practice new responses between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through multiple formats. Brooke encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready and to shape therapy around realistic goals and day-to-day needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Brooke often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as part of online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify personal values and take practical steps toward them, while learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck. EMDR focuses on reducing the intensity of upsetting memories and can be useful for people who have trauma-related distress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Brooke will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan so therapy fits the person’s needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or people who prefer typing over talking. These options make it easier to schedule consistent care around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
