I have recommended BetterHelp to family and would to anyone who just needs a "tune up" as I call it. Carla Brown has given me such good insight to things that I hadn't considered. And I'm 67.
More about Carla
- 12 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Arkansas with over 10 years of experience providing therapy to adults. I began my career working in a community mental health center and currently I have my own practice. I spend most of my time working with client's who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. I most enjoy working with couples.
I take a straight forward, practical approach in order to do the most work in the least amount of time so you can get back to enjoying your life as soon as possible. I use a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I meet you where you are and help you to get where you want to be. I know beginning therapy can be anxiety provoking and I strive to make the therapeutic process as comfortable as possible. So try to relax and let's get started!
I look forward to talking to you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Carla's nice, patient, and supportive. She's comfortable to talk to, but she'll still point out things you're doing that might not be working to your advantage.
I have not been a stranger to therapy over the course of my lifetime, but Carla has helped me develop an insight that has helped me move forward.
I reached out to better help in a panic in what seemed like a crumbling version of my normal life. She was there to listen and help me process thoughts and providing additional tools to help. Though I may not maintain my subscription for long, her help was greatly appreciated.
