About Linda
Linda "Kathleen" Brown helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and parenting challenges. She uses clear, practical approaches to help clients make changes that fit daily life. Kathleen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and brings 26 years of experience to her work.
She focuses on what you want to achieve and breaks goals into small, doable steps. Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Kathleen listens first, then suggests strategies such as cognitive tools or solution-focused steps you can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in independent practice, inpatient hospitalization, residential treatment, and telephone crisis care. Those settings shaped a flexible way of helping people who face intense emotions, mood shifts, or life transitions. She has also provided supervision to students and clinicians pursuing licensure.
Kathleen blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. She adapts these approaches to each person’s needs rather than applying a single technique to everyone. This means building skills for managing mood, addressing unhelpful thoughts, and finding practical next steps.
Parents will find a down-to-earth collaborator who talks through concrete strategies for family stress, parenting strain, and behavior concerns. Kathleen can also support issues such as ADHD, body image, eating concerns, and workplace stress. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online in multiple formats.
She holds LCSW credentials in Arizona and Missouri and practices from Missouri. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling the first session online.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s own goals and perspective. The therapist listens closely and helps people name their priorities, build on strengths, and make choices that feel right for them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and mood shifts by teaching skills to change thinking and behavior patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit their situation and preferences. Adjustments are made as progress and challenges become clearer.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to send quick updates, practice new skills between sessions, or check in during a stressful day. These options help people keep therapy consistent around school, work, and family life.
