Brianne Phillips , LCSW

Brianne Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings a thoughtful, practical approach to helping individuals and families navigate difficult transitions. She is licensed to practice social work in Kansas, Missouri, North Dakota, and Louisiana, and she also holds the Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor credential, which reflects advanced training and supervisory experience in play-based therapeutic work. As an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - she combines clinical knowledge with real-world experience to support clients across a range of life challenges.

Over the past 17 years she has worked in diverse settings, including schools, private practice, a hospital environment, with youth in foster care, and with survivors of domestic violence. These varied experiences shaped a perspective that people are influenced by both what happens to them and how they interpret those events. She has supported clients facing change, parenting struggles, relationship conflicts, trauma, and the everyday stresses that accumulate over time.

When meeting someone new she prioritizes listening and making sure each person feels heard and respected. She takes a holistic view of each client - looking at the broader context of family, work, and personal history - to identify patterns that affect thoughts and behavior. From there she works collaboratively to challenge unhelpful thinking and experiment with new responses, guided by the idea that repeating the same actions tends to produce the same results. Brianne frames the therapeutic relationship as a team effort, encouraging clients to try different strategies and build toward meaningful change.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Cognitive and Solution-Focused Tools

Brianne integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy into her online practice to give clients clear, practical options for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and the behaviors that follow; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes identifying strengths and practical steps toward specific goals, which can be especially helpful for relationship issues, parenting challenges, and navigating life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Brianne works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins can happen via live chat or text-based messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to access consistent support around work, family, or other responsibilities, while still using structured therapeutic tools to address symptoms and practical concerns.
