About Linda
Linda "Kathleen" Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 26 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, family concerns, eating issues, parenting strain, anger, career challenges, bipolar disorder, life transitions, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in Missouri.
Brown trained at the George Warren Brown School of Social Work at Washington University and has a wide clinical background. Her work has taken place in private practice, inpatient hospitalization, residential treatment, and telephone crisis care. She has provided individual and group therapy and has experience offering supervision to trainees pursuing licensure.
Her approach emphasizes practical, goal-focused work. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Client-Centered and Solution-Focused methods. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding to stress and strong emotions.
Brown often helps people set realistic, measurable goals and checks progress regularly. She also draws on strengths-based tools to build on coping skills people already have. When needed she adjusts methods to match how someone prefers to work.
Her practice includes issues related to adoption and foster care, body image, impulsivity, isolation, mood disorders, obsessions and compulsions, panic, sexual assault and abuse, social anxiety, and workplace problems. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Linda "Kathleen" Brown uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many everyday problems because it focuses on concrete thought and behavior changes.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and building on what the person already brings. This method supports people who want a steady, respectful space to talk through concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy is part of her work as well; it concentrates on small, achievable steps and what can be changed right now.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options and choose methods based on the person's goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is tracked.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also work well when a quieter environment or less visual bandwidth is preferred. Ask about specific session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match your daily routine.
