About Brook
Brook Algarin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel worn down by stress, anxiety, sleep problems, relationship strain, or persistent low mood. Brook writes plainly and listens closely to understand what keeps someone stuck and tired.
Many clients come because past events keep replaying in their minds. Brook helps people notice those patterns and work toward fewer flashbacks and less self-criticism. She also supports those dealing with parenting pressures, career stress, and questions about identity and relationships.
Her approach blends practical skill building with compassionate listening. She uses methods that help people change unhelpful thoughts and practice new ways of responding to stress. Sessions often include mindfulness exercises, behavioral strategies, and structured techniques to reduce panic and calm the body.
Brook has worked with adults across a wide range of life stages and concerns over the past two and a half decades in South Carolina. Her clients bring issues such as depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, and sleep disturbances among other struggles. Conversations are geared toward clear, manageable steps rather than vague promises.
People who choose Brook can expect a collaborative process. She helps set practical goals and teaches tools that can be used between sessions. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.
Online approaches that match your needs
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist follows your pace, reflects what matters to you, and helps you name goals. This approach is useful when someone needs acceptance and a place to sort things out.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and to build routines that support better sleep and calmer days. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping during crisis moments. It includes practical tools for distress tolerance and emotion regulation that can help with panic attacks and relationship stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try strategies together, and adjust methods based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback and shape the plan as they go.
If you prefer online care, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time. Many people find that practicing CBT or DBT skills between sessions fits well with remote appointments led by licensed professionals.
