About Jill

Jill Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, and self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

With 18 years of clinical experience, she works with adults and older adults and has supported clients facing parenting struggles, intimacy-related issues, sleeping difficulties, ADHD, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and a wide range of family and communication problems.

Her style emphasizes collaboration and flexibility, inviting clients to define their goals while she draws from a range of therapeutic tools. Jill uses techniques grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered methods, and mindfulness strategies to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

She also brings experience addressing additional areas such as chronic illness, caregiving stress, aging and geriatric concerns, autism spectrum issues, cancer-related challenges, and separation or divorce. Jill seeks to create a warm, respectful atmosphere where practical skills and personal values guide progress.

She frames treatment as a partnership that honors clients’ strengths and choices while offering structured approaches to cope with life changes and rebuild well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Jill commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and sleep disruption. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-guided action and learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings while pursuing meaningful life changes.

She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness-informed practices to create a supportive space where clients' preferences shape the course of treatment. Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process: the therapist and client explore goals, try techniques, and adjust plans together to find the best fit for the person's needs and values.

Online therapy sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent care from a licensed professional in New York, accommodate mobility or time constraints, and allow therapeutic work to continue from varied locations while using approaches like CBT and ACT effectively over distance.
