About Brooke
Brooke Ayoub is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, parenting concerns, anger, and mood conditions such as bipolar and depression.
She learned counseling at SUNY University at Buffalo and has worked in mental health settings across Erie and Niagara counties. That work included supporting people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and post-traumatic stress. She has experience in crisis intervention and suicide prevention.
Brooke also holds a master’s degree in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling from Auburn University and is a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor through New York State Education Department services. She focuses on helping people with mental health diagnoses who are entering or re-entering the workforce.
Her practice draws on several therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). She also brings tools from yoga, ayurveda, and mindfulness meditation into sessions when appropriate.
In sessions Brooke speaks plainly and works collaboratively. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and helps them build practical skills. That includes managing anger, improving communication, coping with life changes, and finding clearer direction with work or relationships.
Approaches used online and what they do
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward a life that matters, which can be useful for anger linked to frustration or stuck patterns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical strategies to change patterns like impulsivity, rumination, and avoidance that often feed anger and low mood.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-oriented method some therapists use to process disturbing memories and reduce their emotional charge. It can be helpful when past events fuel current anger or intense reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brooke will discuss options, listen to goals, and adjust methods based on what fits the client’s needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
If you want to use online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. The practical advantages of remote work include easier scheduling around jobs and caregiving, fewer commute demands, and the ability to choose sessions that fit a lunch break or an evening routine. Some formats can also reduce the need for being on camera or cut bandwidth demands for a quicker check-in.
