About Kandie
Kandie Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with five years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem problems. Her work also addresses communication problems, workplace issues, forgiveness, impulsivity, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and women’s issues.
Kandie uses straightforward, practical work to help people notice unhelpful habits of thinking and acting. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches. Sessions focus on skills people can try between meetings, like noticing thought patterns and testing new behaviors.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University and a California LCSW credential. Over five years she has supported clients with anger management, low motivation, and trauma-related concerns. She emphasizes clients' strengths and resilience while helping them build coping tools.
In sessions she aims for an honest, collaborative relationship. Conversations are direct and practical. Kandie works with each person to set concrete goals and steps toward them.
Outside of practice she spends time gardening, quilting, reading, walking, hiking, and with her dog and family. That mix of routine and outdoor activity informs how she frames simple, sustainable changes for daily life.
How Kandie uses CBT, client-centered and mindfulness tools online
Kandie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavioral experiments. CBT is practical work aimed at changing thoughts and actions that maintain stress or low mood.She also works from a client-centered stance, which means conversations focus on the person's perspective and priorities. Mindfulness therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kandie will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, client-centered conversation, mindfulness exercises, or a mix makes the most sense based on goals and preferences. That decision can change as progress is made.
