Brook Algarin, LPC

Brook Algarin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina who focuses on helping people move past painful memories and daily overwhelm. She offers a steady presence for those exhausted from trying to keep everything together. Her style is direct and warm, aimed at practical change rather than labels.

Brook listens for the moments that keep people stuck. She helps clients notice how past scenes and self-critical thoughts show up in daily life. Sessions focus on small, manageable shifts that reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and ease feelings of emptiness or shame.

With 25 years of experience, Brook brings long-term clinical work to concerns such as trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar mood challenges, and panic attacks. She also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, caregiving burden, and life transitions like midlife concerns or fertility struggles.

Her approach blends client-centered work with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) are used when they fit a person’s goals. She aims to tailor methods so each person can try what helps most.

Brook works in English and practices in South Carolina. She encourages straightforward conversations about what change would look like and how therapy can fit into a busy life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

Using therapeutic methods online to address past hurt

Client-centered work focuses on the person's experience and priorities. It involves listening closely and shaping sessions around the goals you name, which helps when anxiety or past scenes keep coming up. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical exercises to reduce worry, improve sleep, and change self-critical patterns. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) helps people process disturbing memories by using bilateral stimulation alongside guided recall, and it is often used for trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brook will collaborate with each person to try methods that fit their needs and comfort. Together they decide what to prioritize and which techniques to try, adjusting over time based on what helps.
