Brook Teoli-Phelps

Brook Teoli-Phelps is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people through hard life changes. She centers care on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Brook also supports people facing perinatal challenges, postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth issues, and experiences of isolation and loneliness.

Her work begins by listening to each person's story and honoring what matters to them. She uses a mix of practical strategies and reflective conversation so clients can notice what helps and what gets in the way. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking, steadier moods, and everyday coping tools.

Brook draws on therapies that include attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She adapts these approaches to match a person’s needs, whether someone is processing trauma or navigating the stresses of new parenthood. She also brings experience with autism and end-of-life counseling into her practice.

She has four years of clinical experience as an LCSW, working with a range of concerns from grief to post-traumatic stress. Brook may include faith-informed perspectives when a client wants that included in care. Her style is compassionate and detail-oriented, aimed at helping people feel understood and more capable in daily life.

Brook practices in Texas and holds the LCSW credential. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients at this time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional safety. In practice this means noticing patterns in relationships and working to create steadier ways of connecting and trusting. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors and uses practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered therapy centers the person's own goals and experience; the therapist follows the client's lead and offers empathy and reflection to help clarify choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brook will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. This process is flexible and may shift as progress is made or priorities change.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins, and offering more flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. It can also make regular attendance easier when stress or health issues make travel harder. Discuss format options when you schedule so sessions match your routine and goals.
