Brooke Ayoub

Brooke Ayoub is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings five years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Brooke works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, anger, depression, bipolar concerns, and career or parenting strains.

She uses straightforward, trauma-informed care rooted in real-world experience from crisis intervention work. Brooke draws on eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, cognitive behavioral strategies, and acceptance and commitment ideas to help people reduce distress and regain control of daily life. Sessions often include mindfulness and breathing practices adapted from her yoga background.

Brooke’s training includes a master's degree in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling and work supporting people as they enter the workforce while managing mental health conditions. She has worked in multiple mental health settings with a range of diagnoses and acute needs. This background informs her approach to problem solving and planning for work and life goals.

In sessions she emphasizes collaboration and simple tools that fit into busy schedules. She supports people through anger, impulsivity, communication problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness challenges, and midlife or life-purpose questions. Brooke aims to help people build small habits that create steady change.

How her approaches translate to online work

Brooke commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas to help people change unhelpful thinking patterns and take meaningful action. CBT focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and building new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, anger, and depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward personal values and goals, which can be useful for life changes and motivation.

She also integrates elements of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) when trauma memories are part of the problem. EMDR involves guided attention and memory processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions and can be helpful for people with ongoing trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and will be collaborative. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together you can try different techniques and settle on what helps you make steady progress.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Therapists can adapt mindfulness exercises, CBT homework, and many ACT or EMDR practices to remote sessions so people can build skills between appointments.
