Jennifer Brown, LICSW

Jennifer Brown is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 10 years of clinical experience. She practices in Massachusetts and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other life changes.

She trained at Columbia University and has pulled clinical experience from psychiatric emergency rooms and inpatient psychiatric units. That background informs how she handles high-stress situations and crisis-affected patterns in outpatient work. Her caseload includes work related to adoption and foster care, attachment questions, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and veteran issues.

Jennifer describes communication as central to change. She helps people notice how they argue, withdraw, or escalate. Then she practices new ways of speaking and listening that reduce tension and rebuild trust. She also addresses individual patterns like impulsivity, panic attacks, and avoidance that feed anger and resentment.

Her approach mixes several methods rather than sticking to one model. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thought patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation, and attachment-focused work to look at relationship dynamics. Mindfulness practices are used to slow reactivity and increase awareness.

Sessions tend to be direct and practical. She aims to help people manage strong emotions, change communication habits, and develop concrete coping skills they can use after the session ends.
