Brooke Lesley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Oregon with 12 years of experience practicing as a trauma-informed therapist. She holds licensure to practice as a clinical social worker in both Oregon and Utah and brings a decade-plus of clinical work focused on supporting people through significant stressors and life changes.
Her clinical strengths include work with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, stress and anxiety, self-esteem concerns, addictions, sleep-related difficulties, career challenges, bipolar disorder, depression, compassion fatigue, relationship and family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, and LGBT-affirming care. Brooke emphasizes noticing the body sensations that accompany thoughts, beliefs, and both past and present experiences, because moment-to-moment awareness of bodily signals can clarify how someone is relating to internal and external stimuli and make it easier to navigate life’s hurdles.
In session she often blends mindfulness and self-compassion practices to help mobilize healing, increase distress tolerance, and broaden resilience. Brooke views each person as the expert on their own life and works collaboratively to explore options that support meaningful, empowered change.
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life transitions - research and clinical experience indicate that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care.
A major benefit is flexibility. Clients can choose the format that fits their needs and comfort level - video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule and stick with the work.
All therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and if the therapeutic fit is not right a client can switch providers. For many people, the combination of professional clinical support and adaptable access makes online therapy a practical option for addressing common mental health and relationship concerns.
