About Brooke
Brooke Wahlund is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She uses a warm, human-centered approach to help people handle stress, anxiety, grief, and other life challenges. Brooke aims to make the first steps into therapy feel less intimidating and more manageable.
She focuses on building a trusting relationship early on so clients can talk through difficult feelings. That foundation helps people increase self-awareness and notice strengths they already have.
Background and approach
Sessions are grounded in an interpersonal, humanistic perspective that prioritizes connection and respect. Brooke has three years of professional experience as an LMFT. During that time she has worked with adults facing issues like low self-esteem, major life transitions, and sleeping concerns.
She also supports people coping with compassion fatigue, relationship and intimacy challenges, and trauma-related struggles. She pays attention to practical goals such as improving motivation, navigating parenting questions, and managing career stress. Brooke also addresses concerns related to bipolar disorder, ADHD, and identity issues including LGBT matters.
Additional areas of focus include jealousy, infidelity, self-harm, and young adult concerns. Brooke approaches sessions as a collaborative process. She listens first, helps clarify what matters most to the client, and then works with them to set manageable steps forward.
Her style is straightforward, empathetic, and oriented toward real-life change.
How Brooke Brings Evidence-Based Methods Online
Brooke draws on straightforward, evidence-based techniques that aim to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. One approach focuses on strengthening interpersonal connection and emotional awareness so people can better name feelings, improve relationships, and handle conflict more effectively. Another approach emphasizes humanistic listening and collaborative problem solving to increase motivation and build on a person's strengths for real-world change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Brooke partners with each client to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust as progress is made. She treats therapy as a team effort where the client's priorities guide which techniques are used.
Online therapy with Brooke uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when interaction and body language matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written check-ins, need frequent brief support, or want flexibility around work and caregiving schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to fit sessions into a busy life.
