About Carie
Carie Brown is a licensed social worker with 19 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and trauma. She uses practical, down-to-earth strategies so conversations stay focused and useful. Carie draws on straightforward therapy methods to help people find relief and clearer next steps.
She began her social work career after earning a Bachelor of Social Work from Fort Hays State University in 2000. She completed a Master of Social Work at Newman University in Wichita in 2003 and holds a Kansas Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker credential, LSCSW.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in mental health hospitals and community mental health programs. Carie has provided behavioral health services across levels of care, including drug and alcohol services. She often helps people who are navigating grief, parenting stress, relationship strain, mood changes, and the effects of past trauma.
Her experience in community settings means she is used to coordinating with other local supports when that is helpful. In sessions she blends practical tools with attention to each person’s goals. That might mean learning ways to manage anxiety day-to-day, trying focused problem-solving for a specific challenge, or working through painful memories at a pace that feels right.
She aims for clear plans clients can try between meetings. People who choose Carie can expect a direct, compassionate approach that focuses on what to do next. She offers a mix of short-term strategies and longer work when deeper issues need attention.

Practical therapy approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on what matters to the person. It helps people set goals and move at their own pace while the therapist reflects and supports decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with manageable actions. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and worry that affects daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try approaches that fit the situation, adjusting course when a different method seems more useful.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text can work for short check-ins, sharing updates, or fitting a brief session into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, or other commitments.
