Tina Brown, LCSW

Tina Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She aims to make small shifts that add more joy to everyday life. Tina encourages gentle, realistic steps and believes people are worth the effort it takes to change.

She brings nine years of experience to sessions and focuses on practical goals. Tina listens first to understand what matters to each person, then works together to set reachable steps. She uses clear methods that help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and track progress.

Tina’s work covers a wide range of concerns, including parenting strain, caregiver stress, relationship and communication problems, depression, anger, and trauma and abuse. She also pays attention to aging and geriatric issues and challenges like cancer, hoarding, and body image when they affect daily life. Her approach is adaptable to what each person needs.

In sessions she combines client-centered conversation with practical tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques help when thoughts and behaviors get stuck. Solution-focused steps are used to break big problems into small, doable actions. Motivational Interviewing helps people find personal reasons to stick with change.

Her style is warm and straightforward. Tina invites questions and aims to make therapy feel manageable. To start, she asks people to share what they want to change and then tailors a plan that fits their pace and goals.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person first. The therapist reflects what she hears, helps people name their goals, and supports them as they decide what to change. This approach is helpful for people who want a supportive space to sort through feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses concrete exercises and simple experiments to test new behaviors and reduce unhelpful thinking. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find and strengthen their own reasons for change. It uses guided questions and practical planning to move from thinking about change to taking action. This is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure how to begin.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and past efforts to pick methods that fit. Decisions are collaborative and can shift as progress unfolds.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut down travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make scheduling around caregiving or work simpler. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions when they match a person’s needs.
