Artrice Brewer, LCSW

Artrice Brewer is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Illinois with 15 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and related concerns such as family conflict. She explains therapy in straightforward terms and focuses on practical steps clients can use outside sessions.

Her approach centers on listening first and then helping people try methods that fit their lives. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize each person’s goals and perspective. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going, and she includes mindfulness practices to help manage strong feelings.

Artrice often supports people facing attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, life transitions, and relationship strain related to blended families or divorce. She also addresses issues like caregiver stress, body image, shame, and isolation. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most and build small, doable steps toward change.

Her background includes long-term clinical work with individuals confronting trauma and loss. Over 15 years she has used trauma-focused methods alongside CBT and client-centered techniques to address both past harm and current coping. She prefers clear goals and homework people can try between appointments.

People meet her when they want steady, practical help for social anxiety, phobias, and the other concerns listed. She invites questions about how therapy will work and what to expect in an initial meeting.
