Brianne Phillips, LCSW - Therapist in Kansas

About Brianne

Brianne Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience. She focuses on relationship, family, and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and related life challenges. She aims to make first sessions simple and straightforward so parents and caregivers can talk about what matters most.

Brianne listens carefully and helps people feel heard before moving to practical steps. Her style centers on seeing the whole picture of a person’s life.

Background and approach

She asks about daily routines, roles, and past experiences to understand how those shape current reactions. From that view she uses clear strategies to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Techniques come from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions, and Solution-Focused Therapy, which narrows in on practical next steps.

Brianne has worked in schools, independent practice, hospitals, foster care settings, and with survivors of domestic violence. That range informs how she supports people through parenting challenges, relationship stressors, and major life transitions. She draws on years of hands-on work rather than jargon.

In sessions she emphasizes collaboration. Clients and therapist set small goals together and check what is working. She keeps suggestions concrete and doable so changes can be tried between meetings.

She holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential - LCSW - and practices from Kansas. If a clear plan and steady support feel helpful, she frames therapy as a team effort toward change.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Brianne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts influence feelings and actions; this helps when stress, anxiety, or low mood get in the way of daily life. Sessions identify specific thought patterns and test small changes to see what helps.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy which emphasizes practical, short-term steps. That approach helps clients set clear goals and try small experiments between sessions to build momentum and notice change quickly.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and allow contact from home or work. Sessions can be shorter check-ins or full conversations, which provides flexibility for parents and caregivers managing childcare, school, and work obligations.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
