About Brooke
Brooke Elliott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with six years of professional experience. She supports adults coping with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, LGBT concerns, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life changes. Brooke focuses on practical, usable steps rather than long lectures. She frames the person in front of her as the expert on their life.
Her work often addresses stress tied to health problems and long-term illness. She helps people sort through grief and loss and works on anger that comes up with partners, family, or at work. Brooke also supports people who struggle with motivation, confidence, or low mood.
Brooke uses straightforward, person-centered methods. Sessions look at what a client already does well and build on those strengths. She helps set small, realistic goals and checks progress in clear ways.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are part of her toolbox when thoughts and behavior patterns keep someone stuck. Motivational Interviewing helps people who are unsure about change to find reasons to move forward without pressure.
She works with practical problems like caregiving stress, chronic illness, communication breakdowns, and midlife transitions. Brooke also supports those facing end-of-life planning, aging concerns, and challenges related to intellectual or developmental disabilities.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Brooke emphasizes steady progress through concrete steps and ongoing review, rather than quick fixes.
How Brooke uses approaches in remote sessions
Brooke commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding a person’s experience, and building on strengths. It helps people talk through what matters to them and set direction at their own pace. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and anger that repeats in similar situations.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Brooke will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. That collaborative decision helps shape the plan and the practical steps used between sessions.
The practical benefits of online work are about fitting therapy into everyday life. Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to arrange appointments around work or caregiving, shorten travel time, and provide options like shorter check-ins when a quick conversation helps. Brooke aims to match the approach and schedule to what clients need so therapy can be useful alongside daily responsibilities.
