About Carie
Carie Brown is a KS Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) with 19 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and parenting concerns. Her background includes hospital mental health and community mental health work.
Brown earned a Bachelor of Social Work from Fort Hays State University and a Master of Social Work from Newman University in Wichita. She has provided behavioral health services across settings since 2000. That breadth means she can talk about both crisis-driven care and longer-term coping strategies.
In session she uses approachable methods drawn from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She also incorporates Solution-Focused ideas and Internal Family Systems when helpful. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is part of her toolkit for trauma-related concerns.
She has experience collaborating with community organizations and providing drug and alcohol services. Her practice has included work with adolescents and families, and she lists several focus areas such as ADHD, bipolar conditions, postpartum depression, and addictions. Readers should note her practice base is in Kansas.
Sessions are straightforward and practical. People who struggle with building anger control, parenting under stress, impulsivity, or recurring relationship conflict can expect concrete tools and discussion about behavior patterns. The therapist helps people notice what sets off strong reactions and practices alternatives to those automatic responses.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting to help people clarify their goals. Online sessions can use that same conversational approach to identify triggers, patterns, and immediate concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is practical and skills-based; online meetings often include reviewing thoughts, planning experiments, and practicing new behaviors between sessions. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach used for processing distressing memories; when it is part of online work, the therapist will explain how the method is adapted and what to expect during memory processing. Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and comfort level. That means trying practical steps, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together. Confirm the session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, permit shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It can also allow sessions without being on camera or with lower bandwidth when needed. Talk with the therapist about which arrangement would best fit daily life and goals.Areas of expertise
