About Carie
Carie Brown is a KS Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) with 19 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, and family of origin issues. She also supports people facing addiction, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and life transitions.
Brown earned a Bachelor of Social Work from Fort Hays State University in 2000 and a Master of Social Work from Newman University in 2003. She has spent much of her career in behavioral health settings, including mental health hospitals and community mental health programs in Kansas. Her background includes collaboration with community organizations and providing drug and alcohol services under her licensure.
In sessions she uses clear, active approaches rather than abstract theory. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s priorities, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to map and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and Solution-Focused techniques to set practical short-term goals. She also uses Internal Family Systems ideas about different parts of the self, and EMDR when appropriate.
People who come for help often want to understand how patterns from childhood affect current relationships and stress. Brown talks through family roles, communication problems, and common parenting strains. She works to identify small changes that reduce conflict and improve daily functioning.
Her practice aim is straightforward: clarify what’s most urgent, pick approaches that fit, and make progress in regular appointments. Prospective clients in Kansas should confirm session formats and scheduling before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own priorities and experience. In practice this means time in sessions to state what matters most and steer the work. It helps with anxiety, relationship concerns, and parenting stress by centering the person’s goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT sessions are often structured and include exercises or homework to try between meetings. This approach is useful for panic, depression, and managing mood swings. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process distressing memories with a structured protocol. When appropriate, EMDR can help reduce the intensity of past events that continue to affect daily life. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the early work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend approaches to try together. That decision is collaborative and may be adjusted as therapy progresses. Confirm session formats before you book, since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into work or family schedules, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the available session types and scheduling options when you complete the initial matching questionnaire.Areas of expertise
