Barbara Brown

Barbara Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with 35 years of clinical experience. She has provided services across a range of settings including outpatient clinics, private practice, retirement communities, and criminal justice environments, working with individuals, couples, families and groups.

She approaches therapy with a focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients and she collaborate closely to address difficulties and transitions. Her work is grounded in practical, moment-to-moment clinical choices that fit what a client is experiencing in session.

Barbara uses a variety of therapeutic methods tailored to each person’s needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered approaches, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness practices, and trauma-focused work. She also provides handouts and readings to help people build a personal toolbox of strategies they can use beyond sessions.

Over the years she has supported people facing depression, anxiety, stress-related concerns, relationship challenges, life changes and adjustment, aging-related issues, grief and loss, and crisis situations. As a California LCSW, Barbara combines extensive experience with an empathetic, supportive style to help clients move forward.
