About Jill
Jill Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 18 years of experience. She helps adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, parenting strain, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. She also supports people facing trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD, sleep disruption, and family-related conflicts.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions center on what the individual wants to change. She uses clear techniques from cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness, and acceptance-based approaches to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
Jill draws on client-centered principles to keep conversations grounded and practical. She asks about specific goals and makes small, actionable suggestions during sessions. When needed, she brings in strategies from dialectical behavior approaches to help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
She has worked with adults across life stages and with a focus on older adults at times. Jill has experience with a broad range of concerns including grief, caregiving stress, chronic illness, family of origin issues, and adjustment to big life changes. She also has worked with people who identify as LGBT.

How sessions work
How her approaches inform online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and making changes that matter in daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and for building skills to manage stress.
Client-Centered Therapy centers conversations on the person's priorities, encouraging reflection and collaborative goal-setting rather than a fixed agenda.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill will discuss what feels most useful based on a person's problems, goals, and preferences. That decision is made together and can shift over time as needs change.
Practical benefits of meeting online include the ability to fit sessions around school, work, and caregiving duties, and to check in when life is hectic. If you need information about which session formats she currently offers, confirm those options before booking. Online sessions are presented as a way to bring therapy into everyday schedules without assuming specific service types.
