Dr. Brookhart has been an a wonderful asset to my mental health journey. She creates a comfortable and safe environment for me to share my feelings. I look forward to our meetings because I know that each session will be informational and encouraging. She provides me with tools to help me navigate life and those curve balls that come my way. I have noticed positive changes and I have more of a positive outlook, thanks to her guidance.

Hello, I am Dr. DeAnna (Dee Dee)Brookhart. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Other Drug Counselor and CODPII in the State of Illinois. I have over 27 years of experience as a therapist, in both the Community Mental Health model and in Private Practice. My experience includes working with individuals, couples and families.

My therapeutic approach is client centered and solution oriented. I will use the best approach to help my client. I have extensive training in addictions and cognitive behavior therapy.

I am an avid believer in utilizing a holistic approach to mental health therapy: mind, body, emotional and social factors all contribute to the overall wellness of every individual.

I love cooking, reading and spending time with my family and fur babies. Traveling to the beach is also high on my list of life loves!

It takes courage to take the first step towards change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and help you unlock your happiness and satisfaction with your life.

It's choice, not chance that you are reading this and looking to make your life better!

I hope to earn the right to hear your story! I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
