Kelli Brown, VA Psychologist 0810002951

Kelli Brown is a VA Psychologist with 30 years of clinical experience based in Virginia. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, anger, and low self-esteem. She also helps people facing blended family problems, caregiving strain, commitment or communication difficulties, and the aftermath of divorce or infidelity.

She has particular experience supporting first responders and correctional staff with occupational trauma and burnout. She focuses on practical coping skills and on using the therapeutic relationship to model clearer boundaries and healthier connection. Sessions move at the client's pace and emphasize reducing retraumatization while working through difficult memories.

Kelli frames therapy in interpersonal terms. She helps clients talk through identity shifts and life disruptions after major changes in work, relationships, or health. Her work includes addressing guilt, shame, forgiveness, fatherhood issues, and family of origin concerns when those topics are part of what someone brings.

In sessions she aims to uncover strengths and to build specific tools for managing distress. That can mean concrete strategies for anxiety and anger, communication practice for relationship problems, or support managing stress tied to caregiving or disaster response. She encourages realistic steps toward closing the gap between who someone is and who they want to be.

Kelli practices with attention to cultural differences and to trauma history. She invites adults to describe what feels most pressing, then uses practical, evidence-based techniques to address those priorities.
