Brook Algarin, LPC

Brook Algarin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina who focuses on practical, evidence-informed ways to reduce anxiety and reconnect with what matters. She uses clear methods to help people manage stress, sleep better, and feel more confident in daily life.

She offers straightforward sessions where clients talk about what’s draining them and build steps to change. Sessions focus on real problems like panic attacks, depression, and relationship strain. Brook also helps with parenting concerns, work stress, grief, and issues tied to trauma and abuse.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered approaches, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and mindfulness practices. That mix lets her tailor practical tools to each person’s situation. Brook aims to teach skills people can use between sessions to notice thoughts, manage strong emotions, and practice new habits.

With 25 years in the field, she brings a calm, steady manner and a focus on achievable change. People meet her to address self-esteem struggles, life transitions, midlife questions, and problems like codependency, infertility stress, or caregiver burnout. She also supports those facing bipolar-related challenges and panic disorder.

Sessions are offered in English and provided through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Therapy uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling begins after a short matching questionnaire and selection of the Start Therapy button.

Therapy approaches and online care

Brook often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and depression active. CBT focuses on small, practical steps you can try between sessions to reduce panic, improve sleep, and ease low mood.

She also draws on client-centered work, which emphasizes listening and building goals together so therapy fits each person's needs. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and strong reactions are a problem, teaching concrete techniques for managing distress and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist talks with each person about their goals, symptoms, and day-to-day life, then recommends methods that match those needs. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to try and adjust them over time.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for longer work and skill practice, phone can fit into a work break or use less bandwidth, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps maintain momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule regular care and apply new skills in daily life.
