About Jill

Jill Brown is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. She also supports people navigating relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, and ADHD. Her work often centers on practical steps that make daily life easier for busy parents and adults.

Jill uses a flexible style that starts with what each person wants to change.

Background and approach

She listens, asks clear questions, and helps set small, realistic goals. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings, like behavior changes, breathing and mindfulness practices, and ways to handle difficult conversations. Her approach draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and test them in real life.

She pairs that with acceptance-based and mindfulness skills to reduce struggle with strong emotions. Jill also uses client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in each person's values and priorities. Over 18 years of practice, she has worked with adults and older adults on life transitions, grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, autism spectrum concerns, and commitment or communication problems.

She helps people untangle family of origin issues and the patterns that repeat across relationships. Jill aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where parents and individuals can try out new ways of coping. She focuses on clear, achievable steps so progress feels tangible.

Reaching out is framed as an act of courage, and she meets that with steady support.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve sleep, mood, and daily routines. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s goals and experience at the center, with the therapist offering empathy and practical feedback to support problem solving.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jill will talk with clients about preferences, goals, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust them as needed in ongoing sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video lets people work face to face, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is helpful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to make consistent, goal-focused work more accessible and flexible for parents and adults.
