About Brianne

Brianne Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 18 years of experience practicing in Kansas. She works with people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, anger, and career concerns. She speaks English and brings a background in multiple care settings to her work.

Her career has included work in schools, private practice, hospitals, foster care settings, and with survivors of domestic violence. Those varied roles shaped how she sees problems: life events and the stories people tell about them often change how they react. She uses that perspective to help people spot patterns that keep recurring frustration and conflict alive.

Sessions begin by learning what matters most to the person sitting across from her. She focuses on the different parts of someone’s life and how those parts connect. From there she helps clients notice thoughts and behaviors that reinforce the same results, and tries practical steps to shift them.

Brianne uses straightforward techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral work and solution-focused practice to address specific problems. That means identifying unhelpful thinking, testing small changes, and building on what works. Her approach emphasizes short-term strategies to reduce stress and manage reactions that get in the way of relationships and daily life.

People who come to her often want clearer ways to handle heated moments, recurring resentment, workplace frustration, or the fallout from big life changes. She aims to partner with each person to try new ideas and measure whether those ideas help.

How her approaches translate to online work

Brianne uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and test the thoughts that feed frustration and anger. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so someone can try small changes and see what shifts. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on brief, practical steps and on what is already working. It is useful for setting short-term goals and building manageable routines.

Choosing the right method happens together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Over the first few sessions she will suggest approaches and adjust them based on what the person finds helpful. That collaborative process keeps the focus on real-world changes rather than on labels.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a work break, avoid travel time, or use a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals commonly use those conveniences to help therapy fit into everyday life without asking for major routine changes.
