Brianne Phillips, LCSW

Brianne Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or parenting strain. She aims to make first sessions simple and approachable so people feel heard from the start.

Brianne draws on work across schools, hospitals, private practice, foster care, and services for survivors of domestic violence. That variety shaped her view that life events and how people see them influence behavior and feelings. She listens for those connections and helps identify patterns that keep problems stuck.

Her approach pays attention to the whole picture of a person's life. That means looking at relationships, routines, and the thoughts that guide choices. She uses practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes in daily life.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Brianne helps people set clear, doable steps so progress is visible and measurable. She encourages clients to try new skills between sessions and then review what worked and what didn’t.

Working with her is presented as a team effort. She aims to create a space where people can try different ideas and learn new ways of coping. Brianne practices in Kansas and brings a straightforward, experienced perspective to common life challenges.

How her approaches work online

Brianne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting the thoughts that keep problems going and testing new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship worries because it breaks large issues into small, manageable steps.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which helps clients identify clear goals and build on what already works. This approach focuses on practical solutions and fast, achievable changes rather than long reviews of the past.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to match methods to the client’s goals, needs, and day-to-day life. If one strategy doesn't fit, they try another and track what helps.

Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let participants use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework review, or when writing feels clearer than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
