About Brooke

Brooke Brunken is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 13 years of experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, anger, compassion fatigue, and issues related to LGBT identity.

Brooke favors a practical, down-to-earth style that aims to find manageable steps parents and adults can use right away. Her sessions focus on identifying small, doable changes that lead to noticeable improvement.

Background and approach

She pays attention to daily habits and routines, and talks through how those patterns affect mood and relationships. Brooke blends straightforward problem-solving with listening to each person’s story so they can see options more clearly. Brooke draws on several therapy methods, including Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy tools when they fit a person’s goals. These approaches help shape practical plans and create new ways of understanding difficulties. Her manner is relaxed and collaborative.

Brooke asks questions, offers techniques clients can try between sessions, and checks in on what works. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes, with attention to what fits a person’s life. Brooke provides services in English and practices within Oklahoma.

She is licensed as OK LPC 4721 and brings over a decade of clinical work to each session.

How Brooke’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person feels heard and understood; it helps when someone needs space to talk through parenting stress, relationship worries, or emotional exhaustion. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and habits affect feelings and behavior and teaches practical tools for changing unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing ADHD symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brooke takes a collaborative stance and will help figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and lifestyle. Sessions may mix listening, skill practice, and short assignments to test what helps between meetings.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, allow follow-up between meetings, and let people use different formats as needs change. Brooke uses these tools to keep therapy practical and accessible for everyday life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
