About Kelly
Kelly Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Connecticut with ten years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as substance use and addictive disorders, depression, anxiety, eating issues, and parenting stress. Kelly notes experience with binge eating disorder and broader matters like grief, trauma, and relationship strain.
Kelly describes an eclectic approach to therapy. She uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) alongside attachment-based and narrative ideas. She shapes sessions around what each person needs rather than following a single method.
Clients can expect direct conversations about current problems and practical skills to try between meetings. Kelly also brings experience with addiction work and motivational interviewing techniques to help people change behaviors and set achievable goals. She names specific interests in attachment issues, communication problems, and blended family concerns.
Her recent life roles as a spouse and parent have influenced how she thinks about life transitions and everyday pressures. That perspective sometimes adds a lighter moment in sessions when appropriate. Kelly indicates she also works with topics such as postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and women's issues.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Kelly commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in her clinical work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and eating concerns. DBT teaches practical coping skills for managing strong emotions and impulsive behaviors, useful for stress, substance-related challenges, and relationship tensions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly treats approach selection as collaborative. She will help the client explore goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful and feasible in everyday life.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Working remotely still involves real-time conversation, practice of skills together, and homework or tracking between meetings to support steady progress.
