About Kandie

Kandie Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

She centers clinical work on clients' strengths and resilience, guiding them to build practical coping tools and healthier habits that support more meaningful, fulfilling lives. Drawing from a variety of evidence-informed models, Kandie blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and mindfulness practices to tailor care to each person’s needs.

She emphasizes an authentic, collaborative therapeutic relationship and attends to the systems and relationships that shape a person’s experience. Kandie also brings experience addressing workplace difficulties, post-traumatic stress, communication challenges, forgiveness, impulsivity, women's issues, and questions about life purpose.

With five years of professional experience and a master’s in social work, she offers an open, nonjudgmental space for clients across California to explore change at their own pace. Outside of clinical work she enjoys gardening, quilting, reading, hiking, travel, and time with her dog and family.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Growth



Kandie commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and acceptance skills, helping people reduce reactivity and build emotional regulation when confronting trauma, relationship strain, or persistent worry.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. She collaborates with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so that interventions feel relevant and manageable for each individual.

Online therapy with Kandie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity when travel or work changes occur, and choose the communication style that best supports sustained progress.
