Jill Brown, LCSW

Jill Brown is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and the challenges of midlife change. She works with adults and older adults on grief, self-esteem, parenting concerns, and intimacy-related issues. Jill also supports people navigating ADHD, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She invites each person to set their own goals and helps them find practical steps toward those goals. Sessions focus on the person in front of her, not a one-size-fits-all method.

Jill draws on several approaches to match what a client needs. She uses ideas from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered care. That mix allows her to blend practical skills training with attention to values and coping strategies.

In the room she helps people learn concrete skills for mood, stress, and relationship patterns. That can include learning ways to manage difficult thoughts, building routines for better sleep, or improving communication habits. She emphasizes small, doable steps that fit into everyday life.

Over an 18-year career Jill has worked with a wide range of concerns including chronic illness, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and family of origin issues. She aims to meet people where they are and to support steady progress toward clearer priorities and better daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Jill often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change difficult thinking patterns and clarify what matters most. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. ACT emphasizes values and committed action so people can move toward a life they care about even when hard feelings remain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jill will talk with each person about goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit those priorities. The process is collaborative and she adjusts methods as progress and needs evolve.

Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to practice skills from home or another convenient location and to carry tools learned in therapy directly into daily routines.
