About Whitney
Dr. Whitney Brown is a New York licensed psychologist with three years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, low self-esteem, and depression.
She works to make the first steps feel doable and steady for someone who is worried or overwhelmed. She begins by listening to each person's story and identifying strengths they already have. Sessions are straightforward and aim to build skills that can be used outside of the office.
How Whitney works
Practical tools and small, clear goals are a consistent part of her approach. Dr. Brown draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help with emotion regulation and Mindfulness Therapy to bring attention to the present moment. Motivational Interviewing is used when people need help finding and strengthening their own reasons to change. The work often focuses on day-to-day skills for coping with strong feelings, reducing impulsive actions, and improving self-worth.
She pays attention to co-occurring concerns like mood or personality issues and to specific problems such as social anxiety, shame, or guilt. People meet with Dr. Brown to tackle major life changes, manage recurring patterns, or find steadier ways to cope.
Her style is practical, collaborative, and respectful of each person’s pace and priorities.

How her approaches work online
Dr. Brown often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people who struggle with intense feelings. Mindfulness Therapy may be added to help people notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept away.Finding the right approach is a shared process. She will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most. That collaboration guides which skills and exercises are emphasized in sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets people practice skills in real time, phone calls can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for short questions or between-session support. These options make therapy more flexible and accessible while keeping the focus on practical skill building.
