About Kandie

Kandie Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and low self-esteem. She focuses on building practical skills and stronger coping habits so people can feel more confident and steady in everyday life. Kandie aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and supported.

She draws on client-centered methods that put the person's goals and strengths first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her approach, helping people notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to help reduce anxiety and bring attention back to the present moment.

Kandie describes therapy as a collaborative process. She works to create an authentic and respectful space where clients can speak openly about their concerns. Sessions emphasize resilience, problem solving, and practical tools that fit each person's situation.

Her background includes a Master’s degree in Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio, Texas. She brings five years of clinical experience working with issues such as trauma, workplace stress, communication difficulties, and challenges around self-love and forgiveness.

Outside of work she enjoys gardening, quilting, reading, hiking, and spending time with family and her dog. Those interests inform a down-to-earth style and a focus on steady, realistic progress in therapy.

How Kandie’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and strengths and involves open listening and collaboration to set the direction of work. This approach helps when someone wants a supportive space to talk things through and build confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then test and change them through practical exercises. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem because it gives concrete skills to practice between sessions.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. Kandie will work together with each person to tailor the plan based on their concerns, goals, and what feels useful in session. That means trying tools, checking how they work, and adjusting the approach when needed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It can also support shorter check-ins or focused skill practice when that is helpful. Confirm current session options before booking to learn which formats are available with this therapist and how they can best fit into a daily routine.
