About Christan
Christan Bennett Brooks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship concerns, handle grief and loss, and cope with major life changes.
She frames clients as the experts on their own lives. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear steps to address pressing problems. Conversations are straightforward and aim to make everyday life easier to manage.
Her methods include client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused strategies are used when someone wants to set specific goals and build momentum. Narrative Therapy can help people reframe difficult events and make sense of loss.
Christan pays attention to caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and women’s health concerns as common contexts people bring into sessions. She works with these issues in an individual therapy setting, helping people sort priorities and try concrete changes.
Practical tools and small experiments between sessions are part of the approach. She asks about what is working and adjusts plans over time. To begin, prospective clients answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site options.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's pace. In practice this means sessions focus on what the client brings and on building practical steps that feel doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviors. Online CBT sessions tend to include short skill practices and homework to try between meetings which target stress and anxiety.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify goals and strengthen their motivation for change. That approach fits well with a collaborative online conversation where the therapist helps the client weigh options and set manageable next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how people respond to different methods, then recommend a plan and change it as needed. This is a cooperative process rather than a fixed prescription.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins that focus on problem solving. Ask about the specific session formats available when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can choose what fits your routine.
