Brooke Santos, LICSW, LCSW, CSW

Brooke Santos is a licensed clinical social worker who supports people navigating anxiety, grief, and major life changes. Based in Georgia and licensed in both Georgia and Massachusetts, she focuses on building self-compassion, strengthening communication, and helping clients develop practical coping strategies for stress and mood concerns. Her practice centers on identity exploration, sexuality, and personal growth, offering a thoughtful space for people working through social anxiety, isolation, and self-esteem challenges.

Drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques, Brooke helps clients process difficult emotions, manage caregiving and chronic illness stress, and reconnect with a sense of purpose. She works collaboratively to address relationship difficulties, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and the complexities of trauma and post-traumatic stress. Brooke also offers specialized support for women and LGBTQ+ individuals, attending to issues around sexuality, social phobia, and life transitions with empathy and professional expertise.

She holds LICSW, LCSW, and CSW credentials - clinical social work licenses that reflect advanced training and qualification to provide psychotherapy. With six years of experience, Brooke aims to walk alongside clients as they build resilience, clarify values, and find clearer paths to healing and self-understanding.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Remote Support

Brooke employs practical, evidence-informed methods to help clients cope and grow. One approach emphasizes skills-based coping strategies - teaching concrete tools for managing anxiety, stress, and mood symptoms so people can handle daily challenges more effectively. Another approach focuses on grief processing and meaning-making - guiding clients through the emotional stages of loss and helping them find ways to integrate difficult experiences into a renewed sense of purpose. A third strand of her work concentrates on compassion-focused and identity-affirming exploration - supporting self-compassion, self-love, and clearer communication around sexuality and personal identity.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Brooke partners with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Brooke includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions or periods of limited mobility, while preserving the collaborative, skill-building focus of in-person work.
