Brooke Lovekamp
Hi, I’m Brooke — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s hardest moments. I specialize in working with people facing grief and loss, life transitions, anxiety, and burnout. I take a trauma-informed, compassionate, and down-to-earth approach to therapy, meeting you exactly where you are. Clients describe me as warm, direct, and supportive. In our work together, I’ll help you explore patterns, build insight, and gain the tools you need to feel more grounded and in control. I draw from evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing — always tailoring our sessions to your unique needs and goals. Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or stiff. It can be a place where you show up fully as yourself — no pressure, no judgment — just real, meaningful support. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to try something new, I’m here to help.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session is all about getting to know you — no pressure, no expectations to share everything right away. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’d like to work on, and any goals or concerns you have. I’ll also ask some questions about your history, daily life, and support system to get a fuller picture of what’s going on. This session is also a chance for you to get a feel for working with me. I’ll explain how I approach therapy and we’ll talk about what our work together might look like moving forward. You’re welcome to ask questions at any time. Most importantly, I want you to feel safe, heard, and respected. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning after a break, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I combine deep clinical experience with a warm, down-to-earth style that helps clients feel seen, supported, and empowered. Whether you’re navigating grief, anxiety, burnout, or relationship struggles, I meet you where you are — using evidence-based tools and honest, compassionate guidance to help you move forward. With over a decade in healthcare and therapy, I bring both heart and strategy to my work. I’ve supported individuals and couples through life’s most challenging transitions, and I’ve led teams through complex systems of care. I value clear communication, real connection, and building a space where meaningful change can happen.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with individuals and couples who are motivated for change but may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about where to start. Many of my clients are navigating big life transitions — such as grief, relationship shifts, career stress, or caregiving roles — and are looking for a space to process, reflect, and rebuild. I specialize in supporting high-functioning adults who often appear “fine” on the outside but carry a heavy emotional load internally. You may be the one others rely on, yet find it difficult to ask for help yourself. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, burnout, trust issues, or lingering effects of past trauma, I offer a space where you don’t have to hold it all together. I also enjoy working with couples who want to improve communication, rebuild trust, or gain clarity about the future of their relationship. My approach is practical, compassionate, and tailored to your goals — helping you move from insight to real, lasting change.

Strength-Based
I use a collaborative, strengths-based approach rooted in evidence-based practices. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care, I help clients build insight, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful change. I also integrate systemic therapy and emotionally focused techniques to support clients navigating complex relationships, life transitions, and personal growth. Sessions are tailored to your unique goals, pace, and preferences.
Grief Therapy
Grief is deeply personal, and there is no “right” way to experience it. In our work together, I create a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your loss without judgment or pressure to “move on.” Whether you're grieving the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, or a major life change, we’ll honor your experience while working toward healing. My approach combines supportive talk therapy with evidence-based tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and meaning-making models of grief. We may explore ways to process complex emotions, strengthen your coping skills, and gently reconnect with your sense of purpose. I also help clients navigate anticipatory grief, unresolved or complicated grief, and the challenges of supporting others while grieving themselves. Grief doesn't follow a timeline—and you don’t have to walk through it alone. I’ll meet you where you are, and we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.
Trauma Informed Care
Trauma can affect how we think, feel, and relate to others—even long after the event has passed. In my practice, I use a trauma-informed approach that prioritizes your emotional safety, sense of control, and the pace that feels right for you. I recognize the many forms trauma can take—whether it’s a single event, chronic stress, or early life experiences—and I tailor treatment to meet your specific needs. Together, we’ll work to build trust, stabilize overwhelming emotions, and gently explore the impact of trauma on your current patterns and relationships. I incorporate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing, while always centering your voice and choices in the process. Healing from trauma is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone. I provide a nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported.
