Brianne Phillips, LCSW

Brianne Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who practices from Kansas and brings 18 years of experience across a range of settings. She is licensed in Kansas, Missouri, North Dakota, and Louisiana and also holds the credential of Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor, a supervisory credential for clinicians trained in play-based therapy with children.

Her career has included work in schools, private practice, a hospital setting, with youth in foster care, and with survivors of domestic violence. Across those varied environments she has focused on helping people navigate change, parenting challenges, relationship stress and conflict, trauma, and the everyday pressures of life. She approaches each person with attention to how lived experience and personal perceptions shape behavior and coping.

Brianne takes a holistic approach to therapy, looking at the larger context of a person’s life rather than isolating one issue. She combines assessment of patterns and perceptions with techniques designed to challenge unhelpful thinking and support new behaviors. She centers listening and validation at the start of the therapeutic relationship so clients feel heard and valued, and she frames therapy as a collaborative effort in which client and therapist work together to try new ideas and pursue meaningful change.
