About Brooke
Brooke Lesley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and major life changes. She brings a calm, moment-to-moment focus to sessions and pays close attention to how the body reacts to thoughts and memories. Brooke frames therapy as a collaborative process that centers the client's own knowledge and strengths.
Brooke has 12 years of clinical experience working with trauma, grief, and transitions. She notices how bodily sensations and thoughts connect, and uses that awareness to help clients respond to triggers with more ease. In sessions she encourages simple mindfulness and self-compassion practices to manage distress and build resilience.
Her approach is grounded in listening and partnership. Clients are invited to describe what matters to them, then try options that fit their life and goals. Brooke emphasizes practical skills people can use between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve sleep and mood.
Brooke also supports people facing caregiving strain, chronic illness, cancer-related stress, and end-of-life concerns. She addresses complicated grief, attachment questions, dissociation, and issues related to gender and LGBT identity with attention and care.
Based in Oregon, Brooke draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas alongside mindfulness and somatic awareness. She uses these approaches to help people reconnect with their strengths and find clearer direction during hard transitions.
Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early relationships shape current patterns. Brooke uses this approach to help people notice how they connect with others and with themselves, and to try different ways of relating that feel safer and more effective. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices for calming the mind and noticing bodily signals. These practices can help with anxiety, panic, sleep problems, and managing distress from trauma or loss.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Brooke works collaboratively to identify what feels useful and what does not. Together they consider goals, life demands, and what methods fit into a client's daily routine, then adjust as needed.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives by removing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. It also allows for short check-ins or regular hour sessions depending on what the client needs. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled and what to expect.
