About Kerene

Dr. Kerene Brown is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of experience in practice. She is licensed in Georgia and Washington, DC and works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting challenges, and identity issues including LGBT concerns.

Her sessions focus on clear, practical steps. She helps people name what they are feeling and build skills to manage it. Conversations often cover coping strategies for workplace stress, communication problems, and improving self-esteem.

Dr. Brown uses a mix of approaches drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment principles, attachment-focused work, client-centered listening, and skills from dialectical behavior frameworks. Sessions involve setting goals together and practicing tools between meetings.

Her style is direct and grounded. She helps clients sort through shame, guilt, attachment concerns, and life changes. People leave with specific strategies they can try in daily life.

Before a first session she asks clients to describe current concerns and goals. The intake helps shape whether the work will focus on symptom management, relationship patterns, or longer-term personal growth. The practice notes that costs vary by location and that a subscription model is used for sessions.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions. Online sessions can help people practice noticing thoughts and choosing behaviors that match what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach suits common concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit the client's needs. That plan can change as the work progresses and as people try different tools between sessions.

The profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let clients use skill-building exercises during a normal day and bring concrete situations into the session for discussion.
