About Brooke
Brooke Lesley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, sleep troubles, grief, and tough life changes. She brings a calm, observant approach and focuses on how body sensations and thoughts connect. Brooke aims to help clients notice strengths they may be missing and build everyday coping tools.
Brooke has 12 years of experience working with trauma, grief, addiction, depression, and compassion fatigue. She pays attention to how the body responds in the moment and uses that awareness to guide sessions. That can make distress more manageable and choices clearer.
She often uses mindfulness and self-compassion practices during sessions to reduce reactivity and strengthen resilience. These are simple skills clients can practice between meetings to feel steadier in daily life. Brooke also incorporates approaches that center relationships and personal meaning to help people clarify what matters to them.
Brooke describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client is the expert on their life. She helps people weigh options and rebuild a sense of agency after loss, trauma, or major transitions. Sessions focus on practical steps the client can try and reflect on.
Brooke works in Oregon and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the site’s Start Therapy flow.
How Brooke's approaches translate to online work
Brooke uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape expectations and patterns. This approach helps when relationship dynamics, attachment issues, or intimacy-related concerns feel stuck. She also draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address traumatic memories and the distress they carry, helping reduce the intensity of those memories while processing them in session.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brooke will talk with each client about goals, symptoms, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. She frames this as a collaborative process and adjusts the plan based on what feels most helpful over time.
Clients should confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also permit using mindfulness and somatic awareness practices in the setting where a client lives, making those skills more directly applicable to daily routines.
