About Brooke

Brooke Lesley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and major life changes. She welcomes people who are struggling with mood concerns, relationship and intimacy questions, addictive behaviors, or questions about identity and purpose. Brooke writes plainly and focuses on practical steps that fit into day-to-day life.

She draws attention to how the body and mind interact. Brooke notices body sensations alongside thoughts and feelings to help people better manage distress.

Background and approach

This somatic awareness is used alongside mindfulness and self-compassion practices to build calm and resilience. Brooke uses a client-centered stance and asks curious questions to learn what matters most to each person. She also brings attachment-focused ideas to help people understand patterns in close relationships.

When trauma is part of the story, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, may be part of the work to reduce the hold of painful memories. Sessions are collaborative. Brooke assumes people are experts in their own lives and helps them find choices that fit their values and goals.

She supports work on practical coping skills, sleep and stress routines, and rebuilding confidence after loss or difficult events. Brooke has 12 years of clinical experience and practices in Oregon. Her approach blends existential questions about meaning with hands-on tools for managing symptoms.

This mix aims to help people move forward with clearer purpose and more steady coping.

Approaches Brooke names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Approaches you can use online

Brooke uses Existential Therapy to help people consider meaning, values, and choices when life feels confusing or stuck. This approach encourages questions about purpose and helps people shape a life that fits their priorities.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early and current relationship patterns influence how people connect and react to stress. This can be useful for intimacy issues, relationship struggles, and understanding emotional triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brooke collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That might mean combining mindfulness, body-focused awareness, or EMDR techniques when trauma is present. The therapist will check in regularly and adjust plans based on progress and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is helpful for a more traditional therapy conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging supports brief updates, reflection between sessions, or when written communication feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and different life situations.
