About Carie
Carie Brown is a licensed social worker with 19 years of experience who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She uses straightforward conversations to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and life transitions. Carie aims to make sessions useful and understandable for busy parents and caregivers.
She holds a Master of Social Work from Newman University and a Bachelor of Social Work from Fort Hays State University. Carie has worked in hospital settings and community mental health since 2000. That background means she is familiar with both short-term crisis work and ongoing support.
Carie draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, listening-first relationship. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. For people with trauma, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be part of the plan when appropriate.
Her practice often addresses family issues, parenting strain, adoption and foster care concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related problems. She also supports people with substance concerns, bipolar and mood disorders, ADHD, and postpartum depression. Carie tailors the work to the individual and focuses on clear next steps.
She is licensed in Kansas as an LSCSW, and she works with people who want help sorting through emotions and daily challenges. Prospective clients should follow the site's intake steps to match and schedule a first appointment.
How Carie’s approaches translate to online care
Carie often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's concerns and priorities, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting back what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and trying small experiments to change unhelpful habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Carie will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaborative process can mean mixing styles and adjusting plans as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist during the matching step to choose a format and schedule that works with everyday life.
