Jennifer Brown, LICSW

Jennifer Brown is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 10 years of clinical experience based in Massachusetts. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting challenges, trauma, grief, addiction, anger, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

She trained at Columbia University for her master's degree and has worked in psychiatric emergency rooms and inpatient units. That background shaped how she handles crisis and immediate distress, and she has spent the last decade providing outpatient therapy.

Jennifer uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, DBT skills for managing strong emotions and impulsivity, and attachment-informed ideas to map how early relationships affect current patterns. She also uses client-centered and psychodynamic ideas when they help someone make sense of recurring problems.

In sessions she focuses on communication and practical changes people can make. She notes that changing how people talk with one another often changes how they feel about each other. That applies to partners and to how someone manages anger or resentment at work or home.

Her work includes individual and couple-oriented conversations about parenting, co-parenting, adoption and foster care concerns, and relationship ruptures like infidelity or separation. She also addresses trauma-related symptoms, panic, social anxiety, and issues common in veterans and armed forces communities.

People who choose her can expect clear, conversational sessions that mix skills practice with reflection about relationship patterns. She aims to be an outside, neutral voice to help people spot different views of the same event and try new ways of responding.
