About Carie

Carie Brown is a licensed social worker (LSCSW) who centers her practice on collaborative, evidence-informed approaches to help people navigate stress, mood concerns, trauma, relationship strains, and attention challenges including ADHD.

Background and approach

With 19 years in behavioral health, she brings experience from both inpatient mental health settings and community mental health work, blending practical skills with a client-centered focus to tailor care to each person’s situation.

Brown earned a Bachelor of Social Work from Fort Hays State University in 2000 and completed her Master of Social Work at Newman University in 2003.

Her background includes coordinating care with community organizations and providing drug and alcohol services, and she emphasizes building therapeutic partnerships that draw on cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, EMDR for trauma-related work, and internal family systems perspectives when appropriate.

Practicing in Kansas, she works with individuals and families across a wide range of concerns from anxiety, depression, and bipolar mood challenges to parenting, adoption and foster care issues, impulsivity, and post-traumatic stress. Her approach aims to meet clients where they are and to develop practical, achievable steps toward their goals.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Carie combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques and EMDR to address emotional, behavioral, and trauma-related concerns in an online setting. Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding each person’s perspective and building a supportive therapeutic relationship to guide exploration and change. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and developing concrete strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or impulsivity. EMDR offers a structured way to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity when trauma-related symptoms are present.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to review goals, symptoms, and preferences and will adjust methods as needed to find the best fit for the client's needs rather than applying a single fixed model.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility to fit treatment into busy lives and different routines. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care when schedules or geography pose barriers, and they allow licensed professionals to use the same therapeutic tools and interventions in ways that match each client's communication style and daily life.
