About Brook Algarin

Brook Algarin understands how outward success can mask inner struggle. From the outside a person may appear to have it all - work, family, education, and social connections - while privately feeling worn down by memories of failures, scenes from the past, or a persistent sense of not being good enough. Those efforts to keep moving and keep everything together eventually become exhausting, and the constant need to appear strong can feel like another burden. Brook encourages a different approach - one that stops the internal fight and explores what real change might look like.

Her work centers on helping people find greater calm, presence, and enjoyment in everyday life. She supports those who want to move past old patterns, understand what self-care and balance feel like in practice, and let go of the scenes that continue to pull them back. With 25 years of clinical experience and the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor, which indicates formal training and state licensure to provide mental health counseling - she brings compassionate, evidence-informed approaches to issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma, parenting, and identity concerns.

Brook draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), EMDR, mindfulness, and narrative therapy to tailor care to each person's needs. Her goal is to help people stop simply surviving and begin living more fully, with clearer boundaries against the past and a practical path toward feeling more at peace. She invites a conversation about what change could look like for each individual.

It can be especially useful when traditional appointments are difficult to schedule or access.

One of the leading benefits of remote sessions is flexibility. People can connect with therapists in the way that suits them best - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to incorporate therapy into a busy life. This flexibility also supports continuity of care when routines change or travel is necessary.

Licensed professionals deliver these services, and the option to change therapists is available if a different fit is needed. For many, online therapy offers a practical, effective route to consistent support while maintaining the personalized therapeutic work that helps address everyday struggles and promote better emotional balance.
