About Carie
Carie Brown is a licensed social worker with 19 years of clinical experience who blends evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, mood symptoms, trauma, and relationship challenges.
Background and approach
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other approaches to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for coping with anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and addiction-related concerns. Her background also includes work with family dynamics, parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, and grief around life transitions.
Her training includes a Bachelor of Social Work from Fort Hays State University and a Master of Social Work from Newman University in Wichita, and she holds the KS LSCSW license (LSCSW 3716).
Over nearly two decades in mental health settings, she has practiced in hospital and community mental health environments and collaborated with local organizations to coordinate care.
She also has experience providing drug and alcohol services and has focused work with adolescents and families, as well as additional areas such as adoption and foster care, postpartum depression, and post-traumatic stress.
Carie approaches therapy with practical strategies and a client-centered stance, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs while drawing on techniques like EMDR, solution-focused work, and Internal Family Systems when appropriate.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Carie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients recognize and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and coping with life transitions. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a supportive, empathic relationship and helps people explore concerns such as relationship or family issues at their own pace. When trauma is a central concern she may integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a structured method that can help process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to sessions. This collaborative exploration helps tailor the treatment plan and adjust methods over time as needs change.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people juggling work, family, or other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different communication styles, and fit sessions into a busy schedule while working with a licensed professional in Kansas.
