Jennifer Brown , LICSW

Jennifer Brown is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who are juggling stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, mood shifts, or the aftermath of trauma. Her style is straightforward and practical, geared toward people who want clearer communication and better coping skills.

She trained at Columbia University and spent time working in psychiatric emergency rooms and inpatient units early in her career. Since then she has focused on outpatient work and has built a range of experience with anxiety, PTSD, depression, addictions, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder.

Jennifer often blends evidence-based techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy with skills from dialectical behavior therapy and attachment-based ideas. Sessions can include skill-building for emotional regulation, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and improving how people talk to each other. She explains techniques in plain language and practices them together with the person in session.

Many clients come for help with relationship and family challenges, including communication problems, divorce and separation, co-parenting, adoption and foster care issues, and intimacy concerns. She also works with people navigating identity and LGBT issues, grief, eating or impulse challenges, and the stresses that follow major life changes.

Jennifer sees people who want collaborative, goal-oriented therapy. She offers multiple online session formats to fit different needs and will work with international clients as well.

How Jennifer's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early connections shape current relationships; in online sessions this can mean looking at patterns in communication and how people respond when they feel distant or threatened. Client-centered therapy centers on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can find their own solutions; this fits well with conversational formats like video or text. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often with homework or short exercises that can be reviewed during a video call or via messaging.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, whether the focus is reducing panic, improving communication, managing mood swings, or coping with life transitions. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what works for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility and different ways to stay connected. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins or shorter sessions, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping continuity of care.
