About Jill
Jill Holmes-Brown is a Connecticut-based LCSW with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, addictions, parenting strain, and related issues. Jill also supports people facing attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, communication problems, and commitment challenges.
She trained at the University of Connecticut and completed a master's degree focused on individual and group therapy in 1998. Jill uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies rather than jargon. She begins by getting a clear sense of what is happening now and what the person wants to change.
Her style is steady and direct. Sessions move at the client’s pace and start from what feels manageable. Jill pays attention to cultural background and how life experience shapes patterns of thinking and relating.
Jill draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness. Solution-Focused techniques help set small, achievable goals to track progress.
Conversations include practical tools people can try between sessions. Jill also works with group formats and has experience across age ranges. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices from Connecticut. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her methods translate to online work
Jill commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people with anger and intense emotions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that escalate anger. DBT teaches concrete skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to help people notice early signs of irritability and make different choices. Solution-Focused techniques are used to set short-term, achievable goals so progress is clear and practical.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Jill will talk through goals, preferences, and daily demands to decide which approaches to try first. The plan can change as skills develop and needs shift.
Session formats should be confirmed at intake since the original biography lists multiple options but does not fully specify formats here. Many people choose online sessions because they fit around work, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the current session options during the matching and scheduling steps so you can pick what fits your routine.
