About Kelly
Kelly Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who draws on a decade of experience in behavioral health. She focuses on anxiety, depression, substance use and eating concerns, and often helps people who deal with panic disorder and panic attacks. Kelly writes plainly and meets people where they are, aiming to make therapy feel manageable and direct.
She uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are regular parts of her work. She also brings attachment-based ideas and narrative therapy into conversations to help people understand patterns and make practical changes.
Kelly has worked in the field since 2009 and has experience with substance use and addictive disorders, including binge eating concerns. She says her goal is to tailor treatment to each person, using strengths and clear goals to guide sessions. Her background as a clinician and small business owner informs a practical, down-to-earth style.
Her sessions often focus on skill building, real-life problem solving, and improving day-to-day functioning. She mentions that life transitions and roles outside work influence her approach, adding moments of humor when helpful. People seeking straightforward strategies for anxiety, stress, or addiction may find her style aligns with their needs.
Kelly works with issues such as attachment challenges, body image, communication problems, parenting stresses, grief, and self-esteem. She practices in Connecticut and offers services in English. International clients are accepted, and she asks people to confirm current session options before booking.
How Kelly's approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change repeating dynamics. It is useful for struggles with trust, closeness, and recurring relationship problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic. This approach breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches tools that can be used between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It is often used when intense emotions or impulsive behaviors get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Virtual work can help fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and make it easier to maintain regular appointments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or let people choose sessions that suit their daily routines.
