About Carie
Carie Brown is an LSCSW with 19 years of experience based in Kansas. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting issues. She also addresses ADHD, bipolar symptoms, anger, and coping with life changes.
Brown began in social work in 2000 after earning a Bachelor of Social Work from Fort Hays State University. She completed a Master of Social Work in 2003 from Newman University in Wichita. Her background includes work in mental health hospitals and community mental health settings.
She has provided behavioral health services to patients and families across a range of ages and needs. Her practice has included collaboration with community organizations and delivering drug and alcohol services. The biography notes a focus on adolescents and families in many roles, and she also lists adoption and foster care, postpartum depression, and family-of-origin issues among her areas of concern.
In sessions she uses approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. Conversations may include practical coping steps, problem-solving for parenting or family stress, and addressing past traumatic events when relevant.
People who come for help often bring difficult life changes, communication breakdowns, or recurring mood and impulse problems. The first meetings typically clarify immediate concerns and look at what to try next, including short-term strategies and longer-term work when appropriate.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences. It involves open conversation and reflective listening to help clarify what matters and what to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful habits and manage anxiety or mood symptoms. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity when trauma is part of the concern.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly adapt exercises, homework, and coping strategies for remote meetings so the work remains practical and focused on day-to-day life.
