About Brook
Brook Algarin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, and low self-esteem. She draws on 25 years of experience to help clients who feel stuck by past hurts, overwhelmed, or exhausted from trying to keep everything together.
She listens in a straightforward, compassionate way and helps people name what is getting in the way of feeling calm. Sessions are practical and aimed at small changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
Brook uses approaches like client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses mindfulness skills to help people slow down and notice what matters in the moment. For those carrying trauma, she includes methods intended to reduce the hold of painful memories and reactions.
Brook pairs these tools with a focus on day-to-day routines, sleep, and stress management. Many people she sees want relief from reminders of the past, improved mood, or a clearer sense of purpose. She supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, career pressure, and issues such as grief, shame, or panic symptoms.
Her approach aims to restore energy and interest in life. Brook works with adults seeking practical, compassionate care. Getting started is simple: choose the Start Therapy option, fill out a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time based on availability.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the client's pace, reflects concerns, and helps people decide what goals feel right. This approach helps with stress, self-esteem, and parenting worries where validation and practical feedback matter.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thinking, shift routines, and improve sleep or mood. CBT is useful when someone wants clear steps and homework to try between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, brings emotion regulation and distress-tolerance tools. It helps people manage intense feelings and reduce reactive behavior. These skills can be practiced in short check-ins and reinforced through messaging between appointments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brook will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and lifestyle. She adapts techniques based on what helps most, so therapy feels relevant and doable.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is needed. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, skill practice, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a tight schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and daily routines.
