About Valayshia

Valayshia Brookins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns along with a wide range of related issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and coping with life changes. She aims to make it easier for worried parents to find practical ways forward.

Sessions are meant to be a place to speak honestly and begin change one step at a time.

Background and approach

Brookins keeps the room straightforward and compassionate. She works to create an open environment where people can share feelings without fear of judgment. The therapist listens closely and helps clients identify small, doable steps toward their goals.

Parents often appreciate a clear plan and simple skills to try between sessions. Her background includes helping people navigate relationship strain, addiction concerns, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, and challenges like ADHD and bipolar disorder. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, codependency, and life purpose questions.

This range allows for work on both immediate problems and longer-term patterns. Therapy with Brookins blends practical coping strategies with chances to reflect on personal history and family dynamics. She supports clients who are ready to examine patterns and try new behaviors.

The focus is on realistic progress and steady support during transitions. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through a variety of formats. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire to help connect a client to her practice and schedule sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit family life

Brookins uses evidence-based techniques that teach practical skills and create change. One approach focuses on building coping strategies for anxiety and stress, helping clients learn breathing, grounding, and problem-solving steps they can use at home. Another approach examines family patterns and communication, helping people name recurring behaviors and try new ways of relating to one another.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. She collaborates with each client to identify goals and preferences, and then tailors methods to what the client wants to achieve. That might mean trying short-term skill building first, or digging into longer-term patterns when needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Sessions are available as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to keep a consistent rhythm of care while juggling parenting, work, and daily life.
