About Jill
Jill Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 18 years of experience. She focuses on helping adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship tensions, grief, and self-esteem struggles. Sessions are practical and solution-minded, aimed at helping people handle everyday challenges and emotional strain.
She works with issues that often come up around parenting, intimacy, sleep problems, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Jill also addresses family-of-origin concerns, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and life changes such as separation or bereavement. Her practice includes support for people in LGBT communities and those coping with trauma and abuse.
Her style is flexible and client-led. Jill helps people set clear goals and tries different techniques until something fits. She uses ideas from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors. Mindfulness and dialectical behavior ideas are used when learning to tolerate strong feelings and respond differently.
In sessions she focuses on skills people can use between appointments. That may look like trying new communication habits, short experiments to test assumptions, or grounding practices for agitation and sleep. Conversations aim to be straightforward and practical so people can use what they learn the same week.
Jill’s background includes long-term work with adults and older adults across common mood, anxiety, and adjustment problems. She draws on a range of approaches and adjusts them to the person's goals and life situation.
Approaches used in remote sessions
Jill commonly draws on acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or anger.She also uses client-centered ideas that prioritize the person's goals and perspective. That means she works together with the client to decide which approach or combination of techniques fits best. Figuring out the right mix is collaborative and can change as goals evolve.
If you are considering remote sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow quick check-ins during a lunch break. Some formats are better for skill practice without video, while others support longer conversations and exercises. The therapist will discuss practical scheduling and format details when you set up your first appointment so sessions fit your routine.
