Linda "Kathleen" Brown, LCSW

Linda "Kathleen" Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 26 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and other day-to-day struggles. Kathleen encourages self-care and aims to make taking the first step feel less overwhelming. She speaks English and practices in Missouri.

Kathleen draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide short-term and longer work. Sessions focus on concrete skills, changing unhelpful thought patterns, and building on personal strengths. She adapts her approach to fit each person rather than using one fixed method.

Her background includes private practice, inpatient hospitalization, residential treatment, and telephone crisis care. She has offered individual and group work, and has supported clinicians seeking state licensure through supervision. That variety informs a practical, down-to-earth style.

In therapy she talks through immediate problems and helps set realistic, achievable goals. Kathleen pays attention to everyday habits and thoughts and how they affect feelings and behavior. She also addresses related concerns such as parenting stress, workplace issues, body image, and attention difficulties.

People who want straightforward, skills-focused support will find a clear plan and step-by-step tools. Kathleen aims to help clients see progress in daily life and to build lasting coping strategies. If you want a collaborator who values practical change, she offers that style of care.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and guides sessions around their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable steps and helps people move toward clear, short-term goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kathleen will help figure out which methods fit best based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. 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 make attending from a quieter space simpler and help maintain momentum between in-person visits. Ask about session length, frequency, and any practical details when you schedule so you can pick what fits your routine.
