Kandie Brown, LCSW

Kandie Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California who brings a strengths-based and systemic perspective to her work. She earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio, Texas, and uses that training to help clients understand how relationships and surrounding systems influence their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The LCSW credential indicates specialized training and a license to provide clinical social work services in California.

She emphasizes an authentic, collaborative therapeutic relationship that feels supportive and respectful, and she centers resilience and practical coping tools in her approach. Kandie integrates humanistic and client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, solution-focused techniques, existential and narrative work, and EMDR when appropriate, tailoring interventions to the individual’s goals and needs.

Kandie works with adults on a range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, anger management, and low motivation. She also addresses related areas such as communication problems, forgiveness, impulsivity, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, self-love, women’s issues, and workplace challenges. Her focus is on helping clients build more adaptive habits and practical strategies that support more meaningful and fulfilling lives.

In sessions she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients across California can explore thoughts and feelings and take courageous steps toward change. Outside of clinical work, Kandie enjoys gardening, quilting, researching, reading, walking, hiking, travel, and spending time with her dog and family.
