About Kelly Brown

Kelly Brown, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker and licensed drug and alcohol counselor who also owns a small business. She has worked in the behavioral health field since 2009 and focuses on supporting people navigating substance use and addictive disorders, anxiety and depression, and eating disorders, with particular aptitude for working with individuals experiencing binge eating disorder.

Her style is eclectic and grounded in evidence-informed methods, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Seeking Safety, Narrative therapy, and Inner Child work. Rather than relying on a single formula, she tailors therapy to each person, collaborating to identify strengths and clarify individualized goals so the approach fits the client instead of the other way around.

In recent years, she has also moved through major life transitions and finds that these experiences add perspective to her clinical work, including room for humble humor when it serves the moment. As a people person who gains energy from connecting with others, she brings a warm, engaged presence to therapy and approaches helping as a lifelong commitment.

Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care

Kelly Brown integrates practical, skills-based approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and experimenting with new behaviors, which can be useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, offering support when feelings run intense or relationships feel strained. Narrative Therapy invites clients to explore the stories they tell about themselves and their lives, helping create space for new meaning and more empowered choices during transitions or recovery work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kelly Brown works collaboratively with clients to understand what they are facing, what they want to change, and what has or has not helped before. Together, they can adjust the pace and tools over time so therapy stays aligned with the client’s goals and preferences.

Online therapy also makes support more flexible and accessible. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging for ongoing connection between appointments. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while staying engaged in the work.
