About Kelly Brown

Kelly Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and small business owner who has worked in the behavioral health field since 2009. Her practice focuses on substance use and other addictive disorders, anxiety and depression, and eating disorders, with particular experience supporting individuals struggling with binge eating disorder.

Her style is eclectic and practical, drawing from evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), along with Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Inner Child work, and Seeking Safety. Rather than relying on a single formula, she tailors care to the individual, collaborating with each client to identify strengths, clarify goals, and choose approaches that fit their needs.

In recent years, her own major life transitions have added perspective to her clinical work and can bring a grounded, humble sense of humor into sessions when appropriate. As a highly relational, people-focused therapist, Kelly is energized by connection and has built her career around helping others navigate change, heal, and move forward with greater steadiness and self-understanding.

Online Therapy That Matches Your Goals and Style

Kelly Brown draws from several structured approaches that can translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practicing new skills that support steadier mood and daily functioning - often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationships, which can be especially useful when feelings feel intense or hard to manage. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape coping and connection, supporting clients who want to strengthen intimacy, communication, and a sense of security in relationships.

Because people and concerns are not one-size-fits-all, finding the right approach is part of the process. Kelly collaborates with clients to clarify priorities, build on strengths, and choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy adds flexibility while keeping support consistent. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone, and live chat or text-based messaging can make it easier to stay engaged between scheduled appointments. This format can be a strong fit for busy schedules, major life transitions, or anyone who prefers accessing therapy from a familiar setting.
