Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Leah Brooks
Leah draws on evidence-informed methods to guide therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing practical strategies to change behaviors and moods, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, known as ACT, emphasizes clarifying personal values and developing psychological flexibility so clients can move toward meaningful goals even when difficult emotions arise. She also incorporates EMDR for trauma work when appropriate - EMDR uses structured techniques to help process painful memories and reduce their lingering emotional impact.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Leah works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This cooperative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and personally useful.
