About Carie
Carie Brown is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience. She offers direct, down-to-earth care for people feeling overwhelmed by anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Carie uses clear communication and practical strategies so people can start making small changes quickly.
She earned a Bachelor of Social Work in 2000 from Fort Hays State University and a Master of Social Work in 2003 from Newman University in Wichita.
Background and approach
Carie has worked in both mental health hospitals and community mental health settings. That mix of settings shaped her approach to quick problem solving and steady support. Carie draws on several approaches to tailor sessions to each person.
She uses client-centered work to follow the person’s pace and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger and anxiety. She also uses EMDR for some trauma work and Internal Family Systems ideas for working with conflicting parts of the self.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, relationship and intimacy difficulties, addiction issues, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and trauma-related problems. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care, family of origin issues, divorce and separation, and postpartum mood changes. Sessions are offered in English and are provided to people located in Kansas.
Carie is licensed as a KS LSCSW and has experience coordinating with community services when that is helpful.

Approach-driven online care and flexible session formats
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and pace. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, which helps with motivation and building trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can be helpful for anger, anxiety, and depression.EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that can reduce the intensity of distressing memories. It is sometimes used when past events are continuing to cause strong emotional reactions. Carie will discuss whether this work is appropriate and will help decide what approach fits the client’s needs and comfort level.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to set goals and try strategies that match those goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can include mixing brief solution-focused steps, CBT skills, or parts-based work from Internal Family Systems when useful.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for regular sessions that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging can be helpful for quick check-ins, follow-up, or when writing through a problem feels easier. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to use in daily life.
