01About Brook
Brook Algarin is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people who feel worn out by trying to keep everything together. She hears the stories of accomplishments on the outside and the exhaustion on the inside. Brook aims to help people move past the moments that keep them feeling not good enough and out of control.
She uses clear, practical conversations to identify what keeps someone stuck. Sessions look at how past scenes and painful memories show up now.
Background and approach
Brook helps people learn ways to calm anxiety, manage mood swings, and handle relationship strain so daily life feels easier. Her approach blends client-centered work with evidence-informed tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses mindfulness techniques and EMDR when memories or trauma are part of the problem.
These methods are used to reduce distressing symptoms and build skills for handling stress and triggers. Brook draws on 25 years of experience in South Carolina to tailor plans to each person’s needs. She meets people where they are and moves at a pace they can manage.
The focus is on practical steps that help people relax more, enjoy moments, and stop reliving painful scenes from the past. People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation and goal-focused work. Brook encourages exploring what change would look like and creating small manageable shifts to make daily life feel more peaceful.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Brook often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and try different responses. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building understanding so clients can set their own goals. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and gives practical exercises for reducing anxiety and improving mood.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach concrete tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT techniques can be helpful for managing intense emotions, reducing overwhelm, and improving communication in relationships. These approaches can be adapted to work remotely and are taught step by step during sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins and use less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can provide quick support and reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other obligations.
