About Linda

Linda "Kathleen" Brown helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and work-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with parenting challenges, eating and body-image struggles, ADHD, mood disorders, and career or workplace issues. Kathleen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with long experience in mental health care.

Kathleen draws on 26 years in clinical settings to shape practical, straightforward therapy. She aims to make the first steps easier and encourages self-care as part of emotional health. Sessions focus on setting realistic goals and taking small, workable steps toward them.

Her background includes work in private practice, inpatient hospitalization, residential treatment, and telephone crisis care. She has provided individual and group therapy, and has experience offering supervision to students and clinicians preparing for licensure.

Kathleen commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy in short-term and longer-term work. She adapts methods to the person in front of her rather than applying one fixed approach.

People who choose Kathleen can expect a collaborative process that identifies strengths and practical strategies. She emphasizes clear, doable actions and tracks progress together. Her goal is to help clients make steady changes that fit their daily lives.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. It helps when someone needs empathy, steadiness, and space to talk through feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills for reducing anxiety, managing mood, and changing patterns that cause problems at work or home. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what is already working and builds small, concrete steps toward achievable goals. This approach can be useful when people want fast, goal-oriented progress for career or wellbeing concerns. Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and needs and will suggest which approach or combination might help most. Clients and the therapist decide together what to try and adjust the plan as progress is made. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists and licensed professionals can tailor session pacing and focus so therapy fits into everyday life.
