About Brianne
Brianne Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience helping people work through anxiety, stress, relationship strain, and major life changes. She focuses on real problems parents and adults bring into sessions, such as parenting challenges, grief, anger, career worries, and the lasting effects of trauma.
Brianne aims to make first meetings calm and straightforward so people feel heard from the start. She draws on practical methods to help people change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Sessions begin with understanding the whole of a person’s life and how past experiences shape current choices. That perspective guides simple, step-by-step work to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Brianne’s background includes social work in schools, hospitals, independent practice, foster care, and domestic violence services.
Those settings shaped her skill at listening and at helping people cope when life feels overwhelming. She brings a down-to-earth style to the work and values collaboration. Clients can expect a clear focus on goals and small experiments between sessions.
Brianne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to set practical steps for change. Over time, that approach supports new habits, steadier moods, and better ways of handling stress. She is licensed in multiple states and works with adults in Kansas.
Sessions move at each person’s pace, and the aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts that drive anxiety and low mood. Online CBT often focuses on short exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that can be tried between sessions to see what changes.Solution-Focused Therapy centers on strengths and small, practical steps toward clear goals. Sessions are goal-oriented and often look for what is already working so clients can build on it quickly and see results in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That choice can change over time as progress is reviewed and needs shift, and the plan remains collaborative throughout.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals in several formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video is not ideal, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, manage quieter check-ins, reduce bandwidth needs, or avoid being on camera when preferred.
