About Brooke
Brooke Ayoub is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings five years of clinical experience and a practical focus to sessions. Brooke centers care on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and life transitions.
She uses a trauma-informed approach shaped by work in crisis intervention and suicide prevention across varied settings. That background informs how she talks through trauma, mood concerns, and the effects of long-term stress. Brooke also draws on eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, mindfulness, and acceptance-based ideas to help people process difficult memories and reduce distress.
Her training includes a master’s degree in vocational rehabilitation counseling and work supporting people with mental health diagnoses who are returning to work. That experience guides conversations about career, daily functioning, and practical steps toward goals. She also brings registered yoga teacher (RYT 500) skills into sessions when clients want breathwork, gentle movement, or meditation tools.
Brooke aims to build straightforward, collaborative plans. She helps people notice what matters, try small experiments, and learn skills that fit into real life. Common concerns she addresses include parenting strain, blended family issues, intimacy-related problems, jealousy, coping with illness or caregiving stress, and navigating separation.
Brooke believes clients know their lives best and offers support to strengthen motivation and confidence. She works with each person to set clear goals and practice doable steps toward a more balanced day-to-day life.

How Brooke’s approaches can work online
Brooke uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that are easy to explain and use. ACT focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. CBT looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that keep problems going.She also brings Client-Centered Therapy to sessions, offering an open, respectful space where clients lead the conversation and identify goals. Together the therapist and client decide which approach or mix of approaches feels most useful for the issue at hand. Finding the right fit is a collaborative process and adjustments are expected as goals evolve.
If you plan to meet online, confirm the session formats available before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten some check-ins, or use guided mindfulness and breathing exercises between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT tools to remote sessions so people practice skills where they live and work.
