About Brooke

Brooke Ayoub is an LMHC based in New York whose path blends clinical training with vocational and wellness-oriented perspectives.

Background and approach

She holds a master’s in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling and brings five years of experience in a variety of mental health settings, including work with people experiencing mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and personality-related concerns. Her background includes crisis intervention and suicide prevention, and she has training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Brooke practices from a trauma-informed stance and integrates evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and client-centered approaches. She incorporates mindfulness, yoga-informed practices, and vocational support to help clients manage stress, relationship and family issues, self-esteem challenges, parenting concerns, and life transitions.

Her work also addresses areas like chronic illness and caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, communication and commitment issues, and career-related goals. Clients can expect collaborative care focused on skill-building, values-driven goals, and practical steps for daily functioning.

Brooke emphasizes client strengths and supports development of coping tools to navigate depression, bipolar symptoms, trauma-related reactions, anger, and intimacy-related concerns while helping people pursue meaningful roles in work and life.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Applied Online

Brooke draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, making symptom management and day-to-day coping more manageable. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide clients toward values-driven actions and increased psychological flexibility when facing difficult emotions. Additionally, her EMDR training equips her to work with trauma-related material in ways that aim to process distressing memories and their emotional impact.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Brooke works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to find what feels most effective and sustainable for that individual.

Online therapy with Brooke is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which supports flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to integrate ongoing care alongside work, family, and daily responsibilities while maintaining continuity of therapeutic work regardless of location within New York.
