Brook Myers

I'm Brook Myers, LCMHC/LPC, and I own and operate Umberger Wellness Solutions, a telehealth practice serving clients in North Carolina and Texas. My approach to therapy is built around a simple belief: meaningful change happens when you feel genuinely supported, understood, and appropriately challenged—not when someone simply listens and sends you on your way. I work with children ages 6+, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, trauma, grief, ADD/ADHD, learning challenges, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. Before moving into clinical mental health counseling, I spent eight years working in education and school counseling, which continues to shape my work with children, adolescents, young adults, and families. Therapy with me isn't one-size-fits-all. I adapt my approach to the person in front of me because what works for one client may not work for another. I believe you're the expert on your own life, while my role is to help you recognize patterns, develop practical skills, work through difficult experiences, and sometimes challenge you to look at things differently. The goal is for therapy to feel like something we're doing together—not something being done to you.

My approach is practical, individualized, and focused on helping you understand not only what you're experiencing, but what you can do differently moving forward. We'll look at patterns in your thoughts, behaviors, relationships, and responses that may be contributing to feeling stuck, while also building on the strengths and skills you already have.

I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Strength-Based approaches, while incorporating Humanistic and relational techniques when deeper exploration is helpful. I don't believe every client needs the same approach, so the way we work together will depend on your needs, personality, goals, and where you are in the process. You can expect compassion and support from me, but you can also expect honesty. Part of my role is to help you recognize patterns, consider different perspectives, and gently challenge you when something may be keeping you stuck. We'll turn that insight into realistic steps you can use outside of our sessions, because the goal isn't just to feel better during therapy; it's to create changes that carry into your everyday life.

The first session is really about getting to know you and understanding what brought you to therapy. We'll talk about what's been going on, what you'd like to see change, and any relevant history that helps me better understand the bigger picture. You don't need to come prepared with the "right" things to say or have everything figured out before we meet. I'll also answer any questions you have about therapy and explain what working together may look like. From there, we'll begin identifying your goals and what you would like to get out of our time together. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, comfortable, and with a clearer idea of where we can go from there.
