About Linda
Linda "Kathleen" Brown helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, grief, depression, and trauma. She supports concerns around self-esteem, parenting, career changes, ADHD, and mood differences. Kathleen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and brings direct, steady support to people who are ready to make changes.
Kathleen keeps sessions straightforward and focused. She listens first, then helps set clear, manageable goals. She uses practical tools people can use between meetings to handle strong feelings and impulsive urges.
Background and approach
The aim is to make coping feel doable, not overwhelming. She trained at the George Warren Brown School of Social Work at Washington University. Kathleen has worked in independent practice, inpatient hospitalization, residential treatment, and telephone crisis care.
Those roles gave her experience with individual and group formats, plus work around grief, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and trauma. Her style blends Client-Centered Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and solution-focused ideas. That means sessions often include steady listening, finding patterns in thoughts and behaviors, and trying short-term experiments to see what helps.
Kathleen adapts methods to fit each person rather than using a fixed recipe. With 26 years of clinical experience and licensure as an LCSW in Missouri and Arizona, she brings long-term judgment about what tends to help. She invites people to set realistic steps and to track small wins along the way.
Kathleen focuses on practical change and steady progress.

How Kathleen adapts therapy approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what she hears, and helps people name their goals and strengths. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to talk through anger, grief, or isolation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. Kathleen uses simple exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try new responses. This method can be useful for anxiety, panic, compulsions, and managing impulsivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kathleen collaborates with each person to pick methods that match goals, comfort, and what they want to try. She adjusts pacing and tools as needs change, so therapy stays focused and manageable.
Online formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging offer quick check-ins or shorter touchpoints between sessions. These options give flexibility for different days and needs while keeping the therapist relationship consistent.
