About Jill
Jill Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 18 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem, depression, and parenting concerns. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, and intimacy-related issues.
Her practice pays attention to patterns that start in the family someone grew up in. That includes family of origin issues and recurring roles or expectations that still affect everyday life. She also addresses abandonment concerns, communication problems, and problems that show up during major life changes.
Jill uses several practical approaches to help people make changes that fit their lives. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and to build new habits. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for handling strong emotions and improving relationships.
Sessions focus on what a person wants to work on. Jill helps people set clear, achievable goals and practices skills together in session. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at small, measurable changes that can improve day-to-day functioning.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with adults and older adults in New York. She has experience with grief counseling, chronic health concerns, autism spectrum issues, and caregiver stress. This experience informs how she helps people untangle family patterns and coping strategies.
Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Jill often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small, values-based steps. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts while committing to actions that reflect personal goals, and it can help with anxiety, avoidance, and motivation.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT tends to break down problems into clear steps and practical exercises that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jill will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day constraints. She adjusts plans as progress and priorities change rather than insisting on a single method from the start.
Session format options are not specified here, so confirm current session types before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into work, caregiving, or travel schedules. Remote meetings can make it simpler to keep regular appointments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments.
