About Carie
Carie Brown is a licensed social worker with 19 years of experience offering straightforward, practical care for stress and anxiety. She is a KS LSCSW and focuses on helping people manage mood concerns, trauma, parenting strain, and relationship or intimacy issues. She began her social work studies at Fort Hays State University, earning a Bachelor of Social Work in 2000.
She completed a Master of Social Work at Newman University in Wichita in 2003.
Background and approach
Since then she has worked in hospital and community mental health settings. Carie uses clear, person-focused methods. Sessions often center on identifying immediate steps a person can try, looking at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and working through painful events.
She integrates approaches that fit each person’s needs rather than following a single method. Her background includes work across behavioral health programs and partnerships with community organizations. That experience shapes a practical style aimed at everyday problems like panic, depression, addiction concerns, or coping with big life changes.
People come to her for help with parenting stress, family conflicts, postpartum mood concerns, ADHD symptoms, and issues related to adoption or foster care. In sessions she aims to help people find clearer next steps and build more stable routines and relationships.
Approach-driven therapy delivered online
Carie often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify goals and try clear steps. Client-centered therapy involves listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most to each person, which can help with motivation and decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing small changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, called EMDR, to process traumatic memories when that seems helpful; EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of distress linked to past events. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which approaches fit best, combining methods as needed based on goals and preferences rather than sticking to one fixed plan.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, schedule shorter check-ins, or continue work between meetings. People can choose the format that suits their energy level and daily routine, and the therapist adapts interventions to work well across these different ways of meeting.
