About Brooks
Brooks Johnson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 27 years of experience. He frames therapy around each person’s sense of purpose and what helps them function better day to day. Brooks aims to be a steady, practical presence while people work through stress, mood changes, addiction, grief, relationship strain, and similar challenges.
He blends several approaches to fit the person in front of him rather than forcing a single method.
How Brooks works
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness tools are often used to shift unhelpful thinking and reduce overwhelm. He also draws on existential ideas to help people clarify meaning and direction in life. Brooks values straightforward, respectful conversation and tends to offer clear strategies alongside reflective listening.
Sessions may include practical exercises, thought tracking, and mindfulness practice depending on goals. Spiritual topics are addressed when they matter to the client and are shaped by each person’s own beliefs. His background includes formal education and three decades of hands-on work, which Brooks says both inform his judgment.
That mix guides how he helps people cope with life transitions, manage ADHD symptoms, and face long-term concerns like bipolar disorder or chronic grief. Brooks provides sessions remotely by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. He works in English and practices across Florida, bringing steady clinical experience to people looking for a practical, values-minded therapist.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Brooks often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Sessions may include tracking thoughts, testing assumptions, and practicing new skills between meetings.He also integrates Mindfulness Therapy to help people become more aware of their moment-to-moment experience. Mindfulness practices can reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation, which is useful for stress, grief, and addictive urges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brooks collaborates with each person to decide whether CBT, mindfulness, existential exploration, or trauma-focused tools make the most sense for their goals. He adjusts methods over time based on progress and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match daily life needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady support.
