Outside of clinical work she enjoys cooking, reading, spending time with family and her pets, and visiting the beach. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and emphasizes the courage involved in reaching out for support. Those who choose to work with her can expect a practical, compassionate style focused on unlocking greater satisfaction and functioning in daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Brookhart draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration to help clients identify their own strengths and goals. This approach is useful for people seeking a supportive space to explore feelings, relationships, and life transitions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT can be effective for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with day-to-day challenges.

Motivational interviewing is another technique she employs to help clients clarify ambivalence and strengthen their commitment to change, particularly around habits, recovery, and behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Brookhart works collaboratively with each person to choose or combine methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and connect with licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations.
