Brooke Mckenzie , LCSW, LICSW

Brooke Mckenzie is a licensed social worker based in Pennsylvania with 20 years of professional experience. She has focused her practice on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, process trauma and abuse, and work through depression. As a clinician holding LCSW and LICSW credentials - both indicating advanced licensure as a clinical social worker - she combines professional training with a compassionate approach.

Brooke emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction and adapts conversations and treatment plans to meet each person’s unique needs. She recognizes that beginning therapy often requires courage and she expresses genuine pride in those who take that first step. Scheduling is designed to accommodate many clients’ needs, with most of her hours occurring in the evenings from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays.

Throughout her work, Brooke aims to create tailored plans that reflect individual goals and circumstances, guiding people toward practical strategies and clearer perspective while honoring their personal experiences and pace.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Brooke Mckenzie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques presented in ways that are practical and accessible. One approach emphasizes structured work on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors - helping individuals identify unhelpful patterns and develop clearer ways of thinking and responding. Another approach centers on skills-based strategies for coping and emotion regulation, teaching concrete tools to manage stress, anxiety, and urges related to addiction. Given her experience with trauma and abuse, her work also incorporates trauma-informed practices that prioritize stabilization, safety, and pacing as needed.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is collaborative. Brooke works with each person to understand their concerns, goals, and preferences, and she tailors methods over time so the approach fits the individual’s needs rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Brooke provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing for flexibility in timing and format and making it easier to maintain consistency and access support when it is needed.
