Dr. Brown helps adults and young adults who are dealing with workplace stress, social anxiety, identity questions, and mood difficulties.

She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors, and ACT and DBT skills to manage strong emotions.

She also supports people managing body image, codependency, commitment struggles, and communication problems. Her credential list includes LICSW, LCSW, and CSW as listed above.
In a typical session she talks through what is most pressing, identifies patterns that keep problems going, and introduces exercises to practice new ways of responding. Many clients leave with short, concrete tasks to try before the next visit. The approach is direct and structured, with an emphasis on steps that can fit into everyday life.

How CBT, ACT and attachment work in online sessions
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. It breaks problems into steps you can practice between meetings and is often used for anxiety, depression, and repetitive thinking. ACT helps people notice values, accept difficult feelings, and commit to small actions that matter. It is useful for stress, avoidance, and building motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they show up now in trust, closeness, and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process where skills and conversational work are combined to fit individual needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing meetings during a lunch break or after work. They also let a therapist use worksheets, brief skills coaching, and behavioral experiments that you can try between sessions without changing your routine.
