Jill Brown

Jill Brown is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She works with adults and older adults and supports those coping with grief, parenting strain, sleep problems, ADHD, and life changes. Her approach aims to be warm, respectful, and straightforward so people feel heard and understood quickly.

Jill uses a flexible style that follows each person’s goals. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses acceptance and commitment principles to help people clarify values and take manageable steps toward them.

Sessions prioritize practical tools and real-world problem solving. Jill includes mindfulness practices and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy when they help reduce emotional overwhelm. Motivational interviewing is added when people want to make meaningful changes but feel stuck.

She focuses on building confidence, improving communication, and easing family-related stress without judgment. Jill has 18 years of clinical experience and emphasizes collaboration - she works together with each person to set the pace and goals.

Reaching out can feel hard, and Jill aims to meet that effort with respect and steady support. She encourages people to start small and build skills that fit into daily life.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Jill often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values; this approach can help with anger, depression, and life transitions. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete behavior changes that ease anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jill will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit their needs. She encourages collaboration and adjusts techniques based on progress and feedback.

Confirm current session options before booking to know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. Some people find video helpful for face-to-face interaction, while others prefer audio for lower bandwidth or easier listening. The focus is on making therapy practical and workable within everyday life rather than on a single mode of delivery.
