About Brooke
Brooke Lesley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oregon with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family concerns, and other life changes. Brooke also supports people coping with addictions, sleep problems, career stress, bipolar disorder, depression, and compassion fatigue.
Brooke pays attention to how the body and mind connect. She notices body sensations alongside thoughts and feelings to help people understand how they respond to stress. That focus on bodily experience often helps clients manage distress more easily.
Mindfulness practices are a regular part of her sessions. She encourages simple attention to the present moment and self-compassion exercises. These tools are used to strengthen coping skills and build resilience in everyday life.
Her work is collaborative. Brooke treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and helps them weigh options and make intentional choices. Sessions typically involve talking through present difficulties and trying concrete practices between meetings.
Brooke also integrates approaches aimed at deeper trauma processing when appropriate. She has experience with methods that address attachment patterns and the ways early relationships shape current behavior. This combination supports people who want both practical coping and deeper change.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can fit into life
Brooke commonly uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current responses. That approach focuses on patterns in close connections and can help with relationship and family-related concerns. She also uses mindfulness therapy, which involves short practices to notice thoughts, feelings, and body sensations in the present moment to improve stress management and day-to-day coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brooke will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for a quicker check-in when life is hectic. They can also let people use methods like guided mindfulness or body-awareness exercises during the session. Ask about formats and session length when you schedule to match therapy to your day-to-day routine.
