Brooke Santos

Brooke Santos is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with six years of clinical experience. She practices in Georgia and focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Brooke also lists caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, and life purpose among her focus areas.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build practical coping skills. Sessions often center on improving communication, reducing social anxiety, and addressing isolation or loneliness. Brooke pays attention to issues of sexuality and identity as they come up in therapy.

Brooke helps clients work through grief, guilt, shame, and forgiveness in concrete ways. She supports people managing mood differences and symptoms of post-traumatic stress with step-by-step strategies. When physical health conditions affect mood or daily functioning, she looks at ways to make everyday life more manageable.

Her work emphasizes developing self-compassion and clearer self-understanding. She frames goals around what a person wants to do differently in daily life, not just how they feel. Brooke mentions a focus on supporting LGBTQ+ communities and people facing major life change.

Practical concerns such as communication skills, relationship patterns, and navigating role changes are common topics in sessions. People who are unsure about next steps in work or life may find her approach useful in testing options and building small, sustainable changes.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions

Brooke draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skill building and emotional processing. One common approach emphasizes practical coping skills and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety and manage mood; these methods teach concrete steps people can use between sessions. Another approach centers on processing grief and difficult emotions in manageable stages, helping people name feelings and try specific ways to respond when strong emotions arise.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brooke will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and circumstances. She checks in about what’s working and adjusts plans so techniques match the client’s needs and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find that remote work fits into busy schedules and makes it easier to keep regular appointments. Online sessions can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to fit therapy into a lunch break or between commitments. Licensed professionals can use different session styles, and Brooke will help determine which style best supports practical progress.
