About Linda

Linda "Kathleen" Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 26 years working in mental health, and she brings that depth of experience to concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She emphasizes self-care as a foundational step toward improved well-being and frames the decision to seek support as an important investment in one’s life. Kathleen’s background includes clinical roles in independent practice, inpatient hospitalization, residential treatment, and telephone crisis care, giving her a broad perspective on emotional and behavioral challenges.

Her work blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and solution-focused approaches to address problems like panic, obsessions and compulsions, social anxiety, workplace issues, and difficulties with impulsivity or isolation. Kathleen has provided individual, group, and family therapy and has supervised students and clinicians preparing for graduation and state licensure.

Based in Missouri and licensed as an LCSW in Missouri and Arizona, she aims to tailor treatment to each person’s needs and help clients set realistic, achievable goals as they navigate life changes and recovery.

Approaches and Online Care That Fit Your Life



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual's experience and emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration; it helps people explore feelings and build self-directed solutions that feel authentic to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and address patterns such as panic or compulsive worries. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical, short-term goals and highlights strengths and small steps that move a person toward desired changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences to decide which combination of methods best aligns with each person's needs, adapting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access care from home or work and provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow licensed professionals to offer consistent support and practical interventions while fitting therapy into everyday life.
