About Kerene
Dr. Kerene Brown is a licensed clinical social worker who practices in Georgia and Washington, DC. She is a Doctor of Social Work and holds the credentials LICSW, LCSW, and CSW.
She focuses on helping adults and young adults manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, and identity questions. Her work often centers on everyday struggles like workplace stress, social anxiety, and feelings of guilt or shame. She helps people build coping skills and stronger self-understanding.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be practical and rooted in real-life change rather than abstract theory. Dr. Brown uses several approaches to match what a person needs.
She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotional patterns and Attachment-Based ideas to understand relational struggles. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when helpful. Therapy with her is described by straightforward conversation and collaborative goal setting.
She pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes stress and resilience. The room is used to try new ways of responding to old problems and to practice healthier habits. People come to address relationship tensions, parenting stress, grief, burnout, ADHD challenges, and major life transitions.
She supports exploration of identity, recovery from trauma and abuse, and issues like body image or codependency. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier emotion, and more purposeful action.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and shifting emotional patterns that keep people stuck. Online sessions can use EFT to notice reactions, name feelings, and practice different responses to relationship or self-directed triggers. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying values and taking action. In remote sessions this often means learning short exercises and real-world tasks to try between meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current behavior and expectations. Working virtually, the therapist and client explore attachment patterns and try new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and improve connection. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss these methods with the client and choose techniques that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made. Online formats offer practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging supports quick check-ins, notes between sessions, and added flexibility for pacing and timing.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
