About Brooke

Brooke Bowen is an AL LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with 22 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, addiction, ADHD, and related issues. She also lists concerns such as intimacy, self-esteem, sleep and eating problems, and career or parenting strain.

Brooke draws from several therapy approaches to guide practical conversations about what happened in the past and how it shows up now. She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on skills, perspective shifts, and plain talk about behavior and feelings.

Her background includes a double Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Criminal Justice with concentration in Forensic Investigations, and a Master of Science in Psychology. She has worked since 2003 in a variety of settings and with many age groups and backgrounds. That range informs how she adapts strategies to simple, everyday problems.

In sessions, she aims to unpack cycles that began in childhood or family of origin dynamics so clients can name recurring roles and expectations. Conversations tend to be direct and practical, with exercises that address coping, boundaries, and emotional regulation.

Brooke is based in Alabama and works in English. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats through the site’s scheduling process. To start, use the matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.

Therapeutic approaches used for online work

Brooke uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify personal values and take small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. ACT often helps with anxiety, depression, and patterns of avoidance by focusing on action and willingness rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable feeling.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach is useful for understanding family of origin dynamics, closeness and distance in relationships, and repeated roles people fall into with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That can mean combining ACT, attachment work, CBT or DBT-informed skills to create a practical plan for sessions.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online methods. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or offering options that do not require being on camera. Discuss format and scheduling details during the matching and first session so sessions align with daily routines and goals.
