About Kelly

Kelly Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut with 10 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, eating issues, and relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports people facing grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, career questions, and major life changes.

Kelly works from a narrative perspective, helping people rewrite the stories that shape how they live. She combines that with attachment-informed ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques to build clearer thinking and steadier relationships.

Background and approach

She prefers simple, direct conversations that identify patterns and small changes clients can try between sessions. Her background includes long experience in behavioral health and work with substance use and addictive disorders. She has particular experience with binge eating concerns and other food-related difficulties.

Kelly describes her style as flexible and tailored to each person rather than one fixed method. Clients can expect an approachable clinician who brings warmth and a sense of real-world perspective. Kelly notes that life transitions from her personal experience have influenced her work and sometimes add a touch of humor when appropriate.

Her goal is to match the approach to each person’s strengths and goals. Sessions can address practical coping skills, communication habits, attachment patterns, and how personal stories shape behavior. She offers help in English and accepts international clients when format and scheduling allow.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Kelly directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How narrative and attachment work online

Kelly often uses Narrative Therapy to help people identify the stories they tell about themselves and then explore alternatives. This approach can be useful for depression, self-esteem, body image, and life transitions because it looks for new, more helpful ways to describe experiences.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationship patterns affect trust, communication, and emotional safety. That focus helps when people want to change how they relate to partners, friends, or family members. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool she uses to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a team effort. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods in sessions, and adjust the plan over time. Kelly aims to match techniques to each persons needs and preferences rather than use one fixed method.

Online therapy with her is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or texting can be used for short check-ins or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it simpler to access care from different locations and daily routines.
