About Jericka

Jericka Brown is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and challenges related to addictions and LGBT issues.

Background and approach

With eight years of clinical experience, she draws on a blend of evidence-informed methods to support clients facing abandonment, attachment concerns, communication problems, chronic illness, isolation, and other life stressors.

She approaches therapy from a perspective that centers the client's knowledge of their own life, helping clients use their existing strengths to address control issues, impulsivity, guilt, and family-of-origin patterns. Her style blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered listening and emotionally-focused techniques, while integrating mindfulness and existential perspectives where helpful.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish to better meet the needs of bilingual clients in New Jersey. Jericka encourages people to recognize the courage it takes to begin therapy and partners with them to set practical goals and build coping skills.

She accepts clients through subscription-based sessions that can be scheduled across multiple formats according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jericka commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also employs Client-Centered Therapy, providing empathic listening and collaborative goal-setting to help people build on their own strengths and values. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another tool she draws on to improve communication and emotional connection in relationships, supporting people who are coping with attachment wounds or family conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and adjusts techniques over time to best support progress and resilience.

Online therapy with Jericka is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or manage care from home. These options provide flexibility in how and when people engage in treatment, allowing continuity of care even when life circumstances change.
