About Jill

Jill Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 18 years of experience. She works with adults and older adults on common concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, self-esteem, parenting stress, ADHD, and anger.

Her work focuses on helping people name what feels most urgent and practical. Sessions tend to center on clear goals clients set. She uses straightforward techniques to address thinking patterns, emotional reactions, and relationship habits.

Jill draws on several evidence-informed approaches rather than a single method. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) ideas are used to spot and test unhelpful thoughts. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) concepts help people notice values and choose actions that match them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills training and mindfulness practices offer tools for managing strong feelings and staying present.

She also uses a client-centered stance that emphasizes listening and collaboration. Jill helps people break concerns into manageable steps and practices skills between sessions. That can include communication tools, coping strategies for anger and stress, and problem-solving around daily routines.

Clients who come with complex or overlapping issues like trauma, chronic health conditions, caregiving strain, or life transitions will find an approach that combines practical skills, mindfulness, and focused talk work. Jill aims to keep sessions concrete and useful so people can apply changes the same week they learn them.

How sessions work

Approach and online therapy with Jill

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking steps that match those values despite uncomfortable feelings. It can help with anger that stems from meaning conflicts or when frustration interferes with goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to change patterns that fuel anger and anxiety. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment noticing and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm during heated moments.

Figuring out which approach to use is part of the work. Jill will discuss options and try methods that fit a person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process means approaches can be mixed and adjusted as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic, and reduce travel time so therapeutic work slots into a lunch break or evening. Licensed professionals can also assign practice exercises to use between sessions so skills for managing anger and stress become part of everyday life.
