Jill Brown

Jill Brown is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She also supports those facing compassion fatigue, sleep problems, ADHD, and intimacy or communication issues.

Jill works with adults and older adults, and she often helps people dealing with life changes and caregiver stress. She draws on experience with cancer, chronic illness, autism spectrum concerns, and bereavement when those issues appear in sessions. Her practice includes attention to family of origin issues and patterns that affect current relationships.

Her style is warm, respectful, and nonjudgmental. She asks clients to set clear goals and then tailors methods to reach them. Conversations focus on practical steps people can try between sessions and on building skills that fit everyday life.

Jill uses ideas from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered approaches. She also brings motivational interviewing and strength-focused ways of working into the room. The specific combination she uses depends on each person’s needs.

With 18 years of experience, Jill aims to make hard changes feel manageable. She encourages small experiments and steady progress. Her approach honors the courage it takes to seek help and treats each person with care and respect.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes actions that move a person toward what matters, which can help with grief, depression, and major life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses practical strategies and small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can clarify goals and make choices that feel right for them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill will help clients decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

Because session formats are not specified in the profile, confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by reducing travel time, offering shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people attend from quieter surroundings. These practical benefits can help people maintain momentum and apply new skills between appointments.
