About Jill
Jill Holmes-Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Connecticut with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, addictions, and anger. Jill also supports people facing parenting strains, sleep and eating problems, career stress, and major life changes.
She uses straightforward, relationship-focused work to help people sort out what feels most urgent. Sessions begin where the client feels comfortable and move at a pace they set. Jill draws on practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness and solution-focused ideas.
Her approach aims to give clear strategies for handling strong emotions, improving communication, and reducing patterns that cause repeated conflict. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, blended family issues, commitment worries, and communication problems. Jill talks through concrete steps rather than using abstract language.
Jill trained at the University of Connecticut and completed her master’s degree in 1998 with a focus on individual and group therapy. Over two decades of practice have included work across a wide range of life stages. She frames her work through a multicultural lens and recognizes differing backgrounds and stories.
Practical options such as video sessions, phone sessions, messaging, and chat are mentioned as possibilities in her biography. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jill uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in practical ways that fit online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to break negative cycles, which helps with anger, anxiety, and depression. DBT emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, useful when temper flares or relationships strain.She also incorporates mindfulness techniques to help people notice their reactions and pause before responding. Solution-Focused ideas are used to set small, achievable goals so progress can be measured between sessions. Choosing which approaches to use is collaborative - Jill will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences rather than prescribing one fixed route.
The biography lists video sessions, phone sessions, messaging, and chat as possible session types, but clients should confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use practices between meetings. Jill aims to use online work to teach concrete skills for managing anger, improving communication, and handling stress in everyday situations.
