About Kerene

Dr. Kerene Brown is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Georgia and Washington DC who brings seven years of experience to helping people navigate emotional challenges and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She holds LICSW, LCSW, and CSW credentials and uses evidence-informed methods to help clients clarify values, build coping skills, and address patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Her work often centers on mood and anxiety-related concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, grief, and stress arising from workplace and relationship dynamics.

Her style blends compassion with practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and other emotion-focused therapies to promote self-understanding and resilience. Dr.

Brown attends to attachment-related struggles, communication problems, and identity questions while incorporating techniques aimed at emotion regulation and behavioral change. She supports clients in facing issues such as parenting stress, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood challenges, and ADHD by helping them develop clearer coping plans and healthier routines.

Clients can expect a collaborative, culturally attuned practice that emphasizes meeting people where they are and honoring their individual strengths. Dr.

Brown frames therapy as a process of exploration and skill-building, with attention to both short-term symptom relief and longer-term growth.

Online approaches that blend skills and self-understanding

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learning more adaptive responses; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) blends mindfulness and values-based action to help people notice difficult thoughts and still move toward meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns shape emotion and trust, and it can be useful for resolving communication problems, attachment issues, and grief.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to discuss goals, preferences, and symptom patterns and will adapt methods so that treatment aligns with what feels most useful and practical for everyday life.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for checking in between appointments, practicing skills in real time, or choosing the format that best matches a client’s communication style and availability.
