Andromada Brooks , LMHC

Andromada Brooks is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who centers therapy on practical, compassionate care. She draws on eight years of clinical experience to help people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and relationship struggles. Her approach aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can speak honestly about what hurts.

Brooks favors methods that encourage values-driven change and clearer thinking. She commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new actions. She also brings elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when problems involve intense emotions or relationship distress.

People come to her for many concerns, including stress, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes, intimacy issues, and challenges related to ADHD or bipolar mood swings. She also addresses substance use, codependency, communication problems, and the aftermath of separation or domestic violence. She works with LGBT concerns and a range of family and relational matters.

In sessions she listens with empathy and without judgment. She partners with clients to set realistic goals, practice new skills, and test small changes between meetings. She will offer gentle challenges to unhelpful thinking and encourage actions that align with what matters most to the client.

Brooks uses talk, practical skills practice, and problem-solving tailored to each person. Sessions can be scheduled online or by phone to fit different needs and routines.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where someone feels stuck or unmotivated. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving around daily challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships; it can be helpful when emotions feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust strategies based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools and exercises fit best for each concern and life situation.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and options for clients who prefer writing. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
