Brook Sprayberry, LPC-MHSP

Brook Sprayberry is a licensed professional counselor with 18 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing depression, relationship strain, parenting struggles, and the stress of major life changes including midlife transitions. Her style is warm and direct, focused on clear steps people can try between sessions.

Brook draws on attachment theory and emotion-focused methods to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. She pays attention to guilt, shame, and forgiveness because these come up a lot in the issues people bring. Conversations in session are practical and rooted in day-to-day life rather than jargon.

She has a long history working with adoption and foster care concerns, blended family challenges, and fatherhood questions. Brook also supports those coping with divorce and separation, codependency patterns, substance use concerns, and family-of-origin issues. Her work aims to improve communication and reduce isolation.

Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and skills practice they can use right away. Brook often focuses on rebuilding self-compassion, setting boundaries, and improving connection in key relationships. She describes therapy as a process of learning new ways to respond to old patterns.

Brook practices in Tennessee and offers sessions in English. People who value an approach that may include faith-based perspectives sometimes choose to work with her. To begin, visitors use the site matching process to find the right fit and schedule sessions.

Approaches that guide online work and goals

Brook uses evidence-informed approaches such as attachment-informed work and emotion-focused methods. Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and connections, helping people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships. Emotion-focused methods help people identify and process strong feelings so they can respond differently instead of getting stuck in the same cycle.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life demands to choose or adapt methods that fit the person. That collaboration continues over time as needs change and progress is reviewed.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into busy routines. Online sessions can make it simpler to check in during a work break, avoid travel time, or use a shorter phone call when energy is limited. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking so you know what options work for your situation.
