Hello, my name is Keith Brown and I am an Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years experience helping people create positive change in their lives. Creating a nonjudgmental, open and caring space for therapy has always been a corner stone of my practice. I truly believe that my clients are the real experts on themselves and as a therapist it is my role to partner with them as they overcome adversity or strive for a new goal. While my clients have sometimes shared similar concerns, like depression, attention deficit, trauma and or anxiety, each client has been their own unique person and deserving of individualized care. Over my career, I have had many opportunities to work with clients from diverse family and cultural backgrounds.
My therapeutic style is draws from Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Motivational therapy, Task Centered Practice and Mindfulness. I am flexible in my approach to adapt to the needs of the individuals I am working with. I am more the open to feedback to better fit the needs of my clients.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
