Stephen Brown

Stephen Brown is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Northeast Ohio with 36 years of clinical experience. He works with adolescents and adults and focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, and challenges with self esteem. His practice is conducted via telehealth for clients across the state.

Brown primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy within a client-centered framework to help people develop practical skills for changing unhelpful thinking patterns and coping more effectively. He works collaboratively with each person to identify strengths, set achievable goals, and map steps toward those goals. His communication style is described in his materials as calm, soft-spoken, and reassuring, which he uses to create a relaxed conversation space without judgment.

In addition to core specialties, Stephen Brown lists focused attention on areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, domestic violence, and related concerns. New clients can expect the first session to assess recent functioning, establish rapport, and begin to outline a direction for treatment guided by the client’s needs and priorities.
