About Andromada

Andromada Brooks approaches therapy with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside several complementary, evidence-informed methods. She blends practical skills training and thoughtful exploration to help clients understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, then works with them to develop healthier patterns.

Background and approach

With eight years of experience in a range of clinical settings, she has helped people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, grief, and relationship concerns. Brooks aims to create an empathic, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can feel safe enough to be vulnerable and begin practical change.

She frames the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative partnership and adapts interventions to the needs of each person, sometimes integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered principles as appropriate.

Her focus extends to nuanced areas such as codependency, abandonment, communication and intimacy issues, domestic violence recovery, and coping with loss or major life changes. Licensed as an LMHC in Florida (FL LMHC MH16572), she accepts English-speaking and international clients and offers multiple session formats.

Prospective clients are invited to begin by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to therapist availability.

How CBT and ACT Translate to Online Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill-building, making it well suited to structured online sessions and homework between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values, accept difficult internal experiences, and commit to actions that align with those values, which can be explored through guided exercises and reflective conversations in virtual formats. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, validation, and the therapeutic relationship, creating a supportive space online where clients feel heard and understood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and may integrate elements from CBT, ACT, DBT, EFT, or client-centered work to build a plan that fits the client's situation and pace. This partnership helps ensure that interventions are relevant and responsive rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, coordinate around work or family commitments, and access therapy from various locations while working with a licensed professional.
