Getting to know Christan Bennett Brooks

Hi! I'm Christan, a licensed clinical social worker and qualified supervisor in Florida. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Central Florida in 2012. Since 2016, I have been working as a therapist and in 2019, I founded my practice, Empowered Counseling. Helping others-especially women-achieve a more fulfilling life is truly my passion. I look forward to supporting you on your journey!

What should a new client know about working with you?

I work alongside all of my clients to help them achieve their goals. My background and education give me some additional tools to help you on your journey, but ultimately you are the expert on you. Each client I work with is unique, therefore each approach to their treatment is unique. In my work, I primarily focus on identifying, challenging, and reframing unhelpful thought patterns that often lead us to feelings of anxiety, depression, and overwhelm. I do this by pulling from a variety of therapeutic modalities- to include- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. I'm laid back and love for my sessions to feel like a simple conversation between two people- no unnecessary formalness. I'm just a listening ear here to help you get to where you are trying to be.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

A typical session with me is highly talk therapy and CBT based. We will focus a lot on identifying thinking patterns and challenging false beliefs that have led to unhelpful thinking and sometimes problematic behaviors. I do encourage work between sessions as that is the way to lasting change. Come with an open mind. Be ready to share. Be ready to embrace change.
