About Brooke
Brooke Hickey is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical help for common life stresses. She speaks plainly and works to make therapy feel doable for people juggling busy lives. Brooke emphasizes building confidence and finding motivation so clients can move forward.
She is licensed in Texas as an LPC and has five years of professional experience. Brooke helps with stress and anxiety, grief and loss, depression, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
She also addresses concerns such as self-esteem, parenting challenges, addiction, ADHD, relationship and family issues, and career questions. Her work includes support for topics like abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and issues faced by veterans and first responders. Her approach treats clients as the experts on their own lives.
Brooke uses concrete tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She blends mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity and narrative work to reframe difficult experiences. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps.
Expect practical strategies you can try between meetings and check-ins about what worked. Brooke frames therapy as a collaboration to identify priorities, test ideas, and make steady progress. Brooke offers sessions in English and practices from Texas.
She provides several online formats so people can pick what fits their schedule and comfort level. The aim is to make getting help straightforward and accessible.
Approaches that work online and in life
Brooke uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers clear, practical exercises and homework that fit well into day-to-day routines and can reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple practices for staying present and reducing overwhelm. Mindfulness helps when stress or strong emotions make it hard to think clearly. Narrative therapy is used sometimes to help people reframe their stories and see new possibilities after loss or big life changes.
Choosing the best approach is a shared process. Brooke will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together she and the client decide which methods to try and adjust plans as progress is made.
Online sessions can be done by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep working on strategies between meetings. The focus remains on practical steps that translate into everyday life.
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.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
Narrative Therapy
Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
