About Linda
Linda "Kathleen" Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 26 years of experience. She greets people with encouragement and practical support when stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, or life changes feel overwhelming. Kathleen emphasizes self-care and helps people take the next manageable step toward feeling better.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-focused. She draws on client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and solution-focused work to help people notice what’s getting in the way and try small, usable changes. Sessions are aimed at clear, realistic goals that match each person’s needs and pace.
Kathleen has worked across inpatient hospitalization, residential treatment, telephone crisis care, and private practice. That variety shaped her comfort with short-term problem solving and longer-term therapeutic work. She has also provided supervision for students and clinicians pursuing state licensure.
She helps people address a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, eating and body image struggles, obsessions and compulsions, panic, social anxiety, workplace stress, parenting strain, and issues related to adoption and foster care. Kathleen adapts methods to each person rather than following a single path.
People who meet with her can expect clear explanations, practical strategies, and collaborative goal-setting. She invites each person to build on their strengths and to set achievable steps toward better daily functioning.
How her approaches work for online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person’s experience without judgment and following their pace. It helps when someone needs steady listening and support to clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and panic. Solution-Focused Therapy targets small, practical steps and builds on what already works to create quick, goal-oriented progress.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and help choose methods that match your goals and preferences. That collaboration may mean combining approaches or shifting direction as needs change.
Confirm which session options are available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or evenings. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed and make attending therapy possible when in-person visits are difficult. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your schedule and needs.
