About Brooke

Brooke Bowen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with 22 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and related concerns. She also supports people dealing with addictions, relationship and family stress, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and career concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

She earned a double Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Criminal Justice with a focus on forensic investigations, plus a Master of Science in Psychology. Brooke has also completed extensive graduate work in criminal justice and community agency counseling. That background shaped a practical style that draws from different approaches.

Her practice blends several evidence-based methods. Brooke uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep problems going. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take manageable steps toward them. Elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches are used when they fit the person’s needs.

Sessions are conversational and focused on skills you can use between meetings. Brooke pays attention to what happened in the past where it helps explain current patterns, and she helps people practice new ways of responding in everyday situations. The aim is practical change rather than jargon-heavy explanations.

How her approaches work for remote counseling

Brooke commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as part of her practice. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, which helps with anxiety, sleep, and mood. ACT emphasizes noticing difficult feelings while clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them, useful for stress, trauma responses, and life changes.

She also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas when those perspectives fit. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current patterns, and client-centered principles keep the conversation focused on what matters to the individual. Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative; the therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adjust the approach as work progresses.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce time spent traveling, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Therapists can use different methods in virtual sessions, and decisions about pacing and focus are made together to match needs and daily routines.
