Brianne Phillips, LCSW

Brianne Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 18 years of experience. She practices in Kansas and lists relationship, parenting, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, anger, career, depression, coping with life changes, family, and intimacy-related concerns among the issues she addresses.

She aims for straightforward work that helps people notice how thoughts and past experiences shape responses. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing concrete alternatives. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors, and Solution-Focused Therapy to try practical steps that fit daily life.

Her background includes work in schools, hospitals, private practice, foster care settings, and with survivors of domestic violence. That range of settings informs an emphasis on everyday stressors and real-life problems rather than abstract theory. She pays attention to how roles like parenting and work affect day-to-day functioning.

In early sessions she listens to how a person describes their situation and priorities. From there she and the client set simple, measurable goals and try specific strategies between sessions. Homework tasks and brief experiments are used to test what changes are helpful.

Brianne describes the therapeutic process as collaborative. She helps people try new approaches to common problems and checks what works. Practical skills for managing anxiety, anger, grief, and relationship tensions are a frequent focus.
