About Brooks

Brooks Johnson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 27 years of clinical experience in Florida. He approaches care from a strengths-based perspective, assuming that people have purpose and the capacity to grow toward an optimal self.

Background and approach

His work blends neuropsychotherapy principles with other established methods, adapting interventions to each person’s needs and life story. Brooks commonly integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques, existential reflections, and mindfulness practices while drawing on person-centered and Adlerian ideas when useful.

He also addresses spiritual concerns in a way that respects individual beliefs. Areas of focus include mood disorders, anxiety and stress, trauma and grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, ADHD, and a wide range of life transitions and caregiver or aging-related concerns.

In sessions he pairs formal clinical training with insights gained from long personal and professional experience, aiming to hold a reflective mirror and practical support for clients as they pursue change. He offers multiple online communication formats and works with English-speaking adults in Florida.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Brooks often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be practical for issues such as anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and some ADHD-related challenges. He also employs Existential Therapy to explore meaning, values, and personal responsibility, which can help during life transitions, grief, or when clients face questions about purpose.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals, test different techniques, and adapt methods based on what the client finds most helpful and aligned with their preferences and needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and continuity of care. These options allow people to access licensed professionals from home or other locations, making it easier to fit therapeutic work into busy lives while trying different modalities to see which works best.
