Valayshia Brookins, LPC

Valayshia Brookins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on common life pressures such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and the strain of major life changes. Her work emphasizes listening and creating a nonjudgmental space so people can speak freely about what’s going on for them.

She helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those working through issues like addiction, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Valayshia pays attention to problems tied to attachment, abandonment, body image, and chronic illness so these themes can be addressed together with everyday worries.

In sessions she aims to help people name what matters most, identify small steps forward, and practice ways to cope between meetings. She encourages practical strategies that fit into daily life while attending to feelings that may be hard to talk about. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s readiness.

People can expect straightforward conversations about goals and priorities. Valayshia describes therapy as a joint effort to increase clarity and reduce the burden of recurring stress. She offers a calm presence and direct support while clients work toward clearer decisions and more manageable days.

Her practice serves people in Connecticut, and sessions are conducted in English. If you want to begin, use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online care

Valayshia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical problem solving and emotional understanding. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful patterns and try small changes to daily routines; this can be useful for anxiety, stress, sleep, and managing impulsivity. Another approach centers on processing difficult experiences and their impact on current relationships, which can help with trauma, attachment concerns, and grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Treatment choices are adjusted over time so the plan fits the person's needs and pace.
