About Kelly
Kelly Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Connecticut with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, eating concerns, trauma, grief, and related issues. Sessions address practical problems like sleep, work stress, parenting strain, and relationship difficulties.
Kelly focuses on substance use and addictive disorders, and she has particular experience supporting people who struggle with binge eating. She uses a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), attachment-based methods, existential ideas, and narrative work. This variety lets her match methods to each client’s situation.
Her style is straightforward and grounded. She helps people break big problems into smaller steps and practice new habits. She also pays attention to life transitions, such as changes in relationships, parenting roles, or work demands, and the strain those bring.
Kelly draws on both professional experience and recent life changes as a spouse and parent. That background informs her practical focus on everyday routines, stress management, and clear communication skills. Sessions often include skill practice, problem solving, and reflection on patterns that keep problems repeating.
People who meet with her can expect conversations aimed at concrete change. She works collaboratively to set goals and decide which techniques to use. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to outline priorities and next steps.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how early connections shape current responses. It is useful for intimacy-related issues, attachment concerns, and communication problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first, based on current goals, strengths, and what feels practical. That may mean combining CBT skills with attachment-focused reflections or narrative work to reframe difficult stories.

Online work also supports steady skill practice between sessions and simpler scheduling for those juggling multiple responsibilities.
