About Jill

Jill Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and major life changes. She often supports adults and older adults, and also works with concerns such as grief, parenting stress, self-esteem, and ADHD. Her practice includes attention to aging and geriatric issues when those topics are part of a person's situation.

She keeps sessions practical and centered on each person's goals. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on steps they can try between meetings. Jill uses a warm, nonjudgmental manner and invites people to shape the direction of their work together.

Her clinical toolkit includes approaches drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Client-Centered and Mindfulness therapies. These methods are used flexibly to match a person's needs rather than as fixed programs.

With 18 years of experience, Jill draws on a range of techniques to help people manage stress, cope with grief, improve communication, and handle caregiving or chronic illness challenges. She emphasizes practical skills alongside emotional understanding.

Jill encourages straightforward conversations about what someone hopes to change and what feels most helpful right now. She supports gradual steps toward clearer values, better coping strategies, and improved daily routines.

How these approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small, value-driven steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening stance where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them find their own solutions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jill will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as needs change. The process is described and reviewed together so clients understand why certain tools are being tried.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make scheduling easier and fit into busy days by removing commute time and allowing brief check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue care during major life transitions, manage caregiving responsibilities, or maintain therapy while traveling. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote sessions, teach mindfulness practices over video or phone, and set practical homework that fits into everyday routines.
