About Keith

Keith Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience helping people make meaningful changes. He creates a nonjudgmental, open, and caring space where clients lead the goals and he partners with them to reach those goals. Keith emphasizes practical steps and real-life habits during sessions. He works with concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, and attention challenges while treating every person as an individual.

Keith draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build new routines. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to support commitment to change and Psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that started earlier in life. That blend helps him tailor sessions to each person’s needs and situation.

Sessions focus on clear, usable strategies. Keith encourages small experiments between visits to change everyday habits and test what works. He invites regular feedback so the plan adjusts as progress is made.

People who value a collaborative approach often find his style direct but empathetic. He has experience across many life situations and cultural backgrounds, and he aims to meet clients where they are. Keith practices in New York as an LCSW-R and offers services in English.

For anyone ready to address stress, relationship struggles, parenting strain, sleep problems, or career concerns, he helps break issues down into manageable steps. He supports people working through grief, burnout, ADHD challenges, and compassion fatigue with straightforward, goal-focused conversations.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client, helping people set goals and feel understood. It is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort priorities and make decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. It uses clear exercises and between-session practice, which can fit well into weekly online sessions for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and everyday behavior change.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These techniques often pair with CBT exercises to help with stress, attention challenges, and coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Keith will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make the most sense based on goals and preferences. He invites feedback so the plan changes when something isn’t working.

Confirm the therapist’s current session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit visits into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins between in-person commitments. It also lets people use practices and exercises in the same environment where they live and work, helping new habits transfer to daily life.
