Jill Brown , LCSW

Jill Brown is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and grief. She works with adults and older adults and supports those navigating parenting, intimacy issues, sleep trouble, ADHD, and LGBT concerns.

Her approach begins by hearing what matters most to each person. She asks about goals and priorities, then crafts a plan that feels practical and realistic. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings and on building skills for day-to-day life.

Jill uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and act in line with their values. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness practices to teach coping skills for strong emotions and stress. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

She describes her style as warm, respectful, and nonjudgmental. Jill aims to create a space where people can talk honestly, try new responses, and adjust plans if something isn’t working. She pays attention to family of origin issues, abandonment concerns, and communication or commitment problems when those are part of a person’s goals.

With 18 years of experience, Jill combines practical strategies with steady support. She encourages small changes that add up and honors the courage it takes to seek help. People who want clear steps and a compassionate guide may find her approach helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jill often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to live with difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan if something doesn’t fit, so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for longer sessions and visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and short check-ins fit well by text or live chat. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and keep momentum between meetings.
