About Brooke

Brooke Ayoub is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings five years of clinical experience to short-term and longer-term work. Brooke focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar challenges, and relationship and family concerns.

Brooke centers her practice on listening first and asking what matters most to each person. She uses Narrative ideas to help clients separate themselves from problems and see different possibilities.

Background and approach

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered methods to help people notice values and make small, steady changes. Her background includes work across community mental health settings, where she supported people coping with crises, mood disorders, and trauma-related concerns. That hands-on experience shaped a straightforward style that values clarity and small steps over theory-heavy sessions.

Brooke often blends therapy with mindfulness practices. She helps people develop simple habits to reduce reactivity, improve focus, and manage intense feelings. Sessions combine conversation, practical exercises, and homework tailored to each person’s daily life.

Parents and caregivers will find a direct, calm approach that focuses on usable tools. Brooke helps people with parenting strain, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and communication problems. She aims to make therapy feel like a steady place to try new ways of handling old patterns.

Online session options

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Brooke often uses Narrative ideas to help people separate themselves from the problems they face and tell new, more useful stories about their lives. Narrative work can be helpful for relationship issues, family conflict, and finding a clearer sense of purpose.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to focus on values and committed action. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then make small steps toward what matters. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her practice too, offering a supportive space where a person’s own goals guide the work and the therapist follows their lead.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Brooke will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That means trying strategies in session and adjusting based on what feels useful and doable.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and exercises. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates, ask brief questions, or maintain momentum between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
