About Kelly

Kelly Brown is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with a decade of experience in behavioral health. She blends evidence-based methods with practical, client-centered care, tailoring treatment plans to individual strengths and goals.

Background and approach

Kelly’s practice emphasizes work with stress, anxiety, mood disorders including depression and bipolar disorder, addiction and substance use concerns, eating-related difficulties such as binge eating, ADHD, trauma and grief, and relationship and intimacy challenges.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside attachment-based and narrative techniques to address patterns of thinking, emotional regulation, and interpersonal dynamics. Kelly values collaboration and flexibility, choosing interventions that fit each person rather than applying a single formula.

Her background also includes work around parenting, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, body image, career and life transitions, and compassion fatigue, which inform a compassionate, practical style. Based in Connecticut, Kelly brings a blend of clinical skill and lived experience to her work, and she accepts international clients in English.

She aims to meet clients where they are and support measurable steps toward clearer coping, improved relationships, and a stronger sense of self.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy for Practical Change

Kelly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based therapy into online work, using each to target different needs. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and is often useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping skills. Attachment-based therapy explores relational patterns and early bonds to improve current relationships and emotional regulation, which can support work on intimacy, family dynamics, and trauma.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before to determine whether CBT, attachment-focused work, DBT skills, or narrative techniques are the best fit for a given situation, and adjustments are made as the work evolves.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options can make it easier to maintain consistent sessions, access care from Connecticut or abroad in English, and try different ways of engaging with therapy to suit daily life and changing needs.
