About Kelly
Kelly Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, substance use and addictive disorders, depression, and eating disorders, including work with people who struggle with binge eating. She also lists relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, ADHD, and self-esteem among her areas of focus.
Brown blends several practical therapies to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) figures in her approach alongside Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment-based ideas, and narrative methods. She prefers to pick techniques that fit a person’s goals and strengths rather than using a single method for everyone.
Her background includes work in behavioral health since 2009 and experience treating substance use and addictive disorders as well as mood and eating concerns. That clinical history informs how she structures sessions and chooses interventions. She also brings lived experience of major life transitions and parenting into her perspective.
Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills and small experiments to change thoughts, habits, and reactions. People can expect practical tools for managing panic, cravings, low mood, sleep disruption, body-image distress, and difficulties with intimacy or communication.

How her approaches translate to online work
Kelly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to focus on clear skills and behavior changes. CBT helps identify specific thought patterns and sets up brief experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. DBT supplies practical tools for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and reducing impulsive behavior.She also draws on attachment-based ideas that look at how early and current relationship patterns affect trust, communication, and intimacy. That perspective can help when people want to improve relationships or recognize repeating patterns that cause conflict or distance.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals, symptoms, and preferences and adjust the plan over time. The focus is on practical steps that can be used between sessions.
