Background and approach
Her background includes work with mood disorders, attachment concerns, and relationship challenges. She uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, among other practices.

She guides each person in small, practical steps so progress feels manageable and relevant to daily life.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and commit to actions that match those values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck because it focuses on small, meaningful changes rather than complete symptom removal.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It gives concrete tools for managing worry, improving mood, and changing unhelpful patterns through practical exercises and homework.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns that shape how someone connects with others. It can help with communication problems, trust issues, and the effects of past hurt on present relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Brown works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people read facial cues and have fuller conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people maintain consistency and fit therapy into everyday schedules.
