About Kelly
Kelly Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Connecticut. She brings ten years of clinical experience to her work and blends practical strategies with a warm, down-to-earth style. Kelly aims to make therapy straightforward and usable for busy people and parents who need clear, doable steps.
She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, eating concerns, and ADHD among other issues. In sessions she helps people name patterns, try different coping skills, and rebuild routines that feel sustainable.
Background and approach
Conversations are direct but compassionate, with attention to what someone can try between meetings. Kelly uses several approaches to match a person's goals rather than relying on a single method. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also uses dialectical behavior skills for emotional regulation and attachment-based ideas to clarify relationship patterns. Her background includes work in behavioral health since 2009 with a strong focus on substance use and addictive behaviors as well as eating disorders like binge eating. That clinical history shapes how she approaches relapse prevention, habit change, and rebuilding daily structure.
Kelly’s personal experience with major life transitions informs her practical, human approach. She aims to be collaborative and to help clients find realistic steps that fit their life. Sessions are geared toward small, steady changes that add up over time.
How Kelly’s Approaches Work Online
Kelly often blends cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior skills in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes that can improve mood and daily functioning. Dialectical behavior therapy offers clear skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive behaviors, and improving distress tolerance.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kelly collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and day-to-day life. She will talk through options, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what is helpful and what is not.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and travel routines.
