About Brooks
Brooks Johnson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 27 years of experience. He approaches therapy as a practical partnership that helps people move toward a clearer sense of purpose and better day-to-day functioning. He begins by listening to what matters most to each person.
Brooks treats clients as individuals with strengths and goals. He uses straightforward conversation and reflection to help people notice what is working and what gets in the way.
Background and approach
Brooks draws on a mix of approaches, including cognitive-behavioral ideas and existential perspectives. He also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques when they fit. These tools are used to help with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, and relationship issues among other concerns.
Sessions often include practical strategies to manage difficult moods and impulses. Brooks also helps people clarify values, set small goals, and build simple routines that make daily life easier. He welcomes discussions of spiritual beliefs when clients want that included.
His style is steady and reflective, focused on small, achievable steps. People who want a calm guide to sort out problems and try new strategies may find his approach helpful.
Approaches and how they work online
Brooks commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, impulsivity, or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices and grounding exercises to manage stress, improve focus, and reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brooks will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those aims. Sessions are collaborative and can shift as needs change so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets. Phone sessions can use less bandwidth and fit a short break during the day. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking goals, and trying a steady flow of short coping tools between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and needs.
