About Brooke
Brooke Ayoub is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, and problems with self-esteem and motivation.
She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Sessions often focus on practical skills for coping with life changes, improving communication, and managing intense emotions. Brooke integrates mindfulness and yoga-informed practices into her work when helpful.
Brooke's background includes clinical roles across Erie and Niagara counties where she supported people in crisis intervention and suicide prevention. She also holds a master’s degree in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling and has worked with clients navigating return to work and career planning alongside mental health challenges.
Her approach treats the client as the expert of their own life. She offers clear guidance and collaborative skill-building to help people manage family stress, blended family issues, caregiver burden, chronic illness or pain, and the practical impacts of relationship strain. She invites straightforward conversations about goals and next steps.
Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking and to use the site matching tools to schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
How Brooke’s approaches translate to online care
Brooke commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and practice small steps toward those values, which can be useful for parenting stress or relationship strain. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with gradual behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen carefully and shape sessions around the person's concerns. That approach prioritizes the client's perspective and helps set collaborative goals. Together these methods allow for skills practice, values work, and problem-solving across sessions rather than a single fixed technique.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brooke will review needs, goals, and preferences with each client and choose interventions together. Expect a practical conversation about what to try first and simple exercises to practice between meetings.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into busy days, allow short check-ins during a work break, and reduce travel time. Phone or video options may be offered depending on the platform and can be chosen based on what best fits routine and comfort.
