Jill Brown, LCSW

Jill Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. She supports adults and older adults facing life changes, parenting pressures, sleep problems, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Jill also works with people navigating trauma, intimacy issues, self-esteem concerns, and LGBT-related challenges.

Her style is warm and straightforward. Jill invites clients to set clear goals and then picks practical steps to reach them. Sessions focus on everyday problems and small changes that add up. Conversations are nonjudgmental and centered on what each person needs right now.

Jill draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness. She blends these methods to match the client’s goals rather than sticking to a single technique. That means sessions can include skill practice, values clarification, and attention to thoughts and emotions.

With 18 years of experience, Jill has worked with people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress, abandonment issues, family-of-origin problems, and communication or commitment concerns. She aims to help people build coping skills, improve relationships, and regain a sense of direction after big changes.

To get started, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability. Jill’s approach emphasizes collaboration, practical tools, and steady support while someone works through difficult circumstances.

How Jill Uses ACT, CBT, and Client-Centered Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic health issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying out new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s experience and uses empathic listening to help clients find their own solutions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Jill will work collaboratively to learn what matters to the client, what has or hasn’t helped in the past, and what goals feel realistic. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking. Once that is sorted, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes regular skill practice more practical between meetings. Licensed professionals can guide practical exercises, mindfulness practices, and behavioral experiments that translate well to remote sessions, helping clients apply skills in day-to-day situations.
