About Consuela

Consuela Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, and life changes. She also helps people facing issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, and caregiver stress.

Her practice combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and client-centered work. Sessions focus on naming emotions, noticing patterns, and building practical skills for day-to-day life. Conversations are straightforward and aim to make difficult feelings easier to understand.

Consuela often supports people through major transitions such as divorce, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care questions, or career shifts. She pays attention to communication problems, commitment and control issues, and problems that arise after separation. Therapy includes skill-building for anger management, coping with change, and improving self-esteem.

She has experience working with dissociation, DMDD-related concerns, dependent and avoidant personality features, and disruptive relationship dynamics. Clinical work uses evidence-based techniques to address trauma symptoms and to practice new ways of relating and responding. Consuela encourages realistic steps and small experiments between sessions.

Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the platform's matching and booking process.

How EFT and related approaches are used in online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with emotions that drive relationship patterns and personal reactions. It helps people put words to feelings and practice new ways of responding to those feelings in real time. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that align with personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide whether EFT, ACT, CBT, or a mix of methods best fits a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That process includes checking what feels useful and adjusting strategies as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so readers should confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports people who live outside the therapist's state by enabling international clients to connect; confirm licensure or location requirements when matching. Practical benefits include scheduling flexibility, fewer disruptions to daily routines, and the ability to try tools and experiments between sessions.
