About Brooke
Brooke Brunken is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 13 years of experience. She focuses on clear, practical steps that help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles. Her approach is relaxed and down-to-earth, aimed at finding small changes that make a noticeable difference.
She also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma, bipolar concerns, anger, compassion fatigue, and LGBT-related issues. Brooke favors a solution-focused stance in sessions.
Background and approach
She helps people identify habits and routines that lift or drag them down. Conversations tend to zero in on concrete actions and adjustments that can be tried between meetings. She keeps the tone conversational and collaborative rather than formal.
Her work draws on methods from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, together with motivational interviewing and narrative techniques. That mix helps clients reframe unhelpful thoughts, set achievable goals, and build motivation for change. Sessions often move from identifying a problem to testing a small, doable next step.
Brooke is comfortable using short-term plans when that fits, or taking a slower path for deeper issues. She pays attention to how everyday routines, sleep, and stress responses affect mood and focus. Her goal is to help people develop realistic tools they can use day to day.
People meet her for a range of concerns, from managing life transitions to handling work burnout. She aims to make therapy practical and approachable, with an emphasis on what clients can do now to feel better.
How Brooke's Methods Work Online
Brooke uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral approaches to help people make practical changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding each person's perspective, and building the conversation around their goals. It helps when someone needs space to talk and be heard while sorting out what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and then tests small behavior shifts and thought experiments to reduce anxiety or improve mood.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Brooke will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life and then try methods that seem most likely to help. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust strategies as progress is made or circumstances change.
Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which give flexibility for different situations. Video works well for deeper discussions and reading nonverbal cues. Phone calls can fit a busy schedule or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, problem-solving between sessions, and building momentum on small goals. These options help people fit therapy into real life and try approaches that match their routines and needs.
