Jill Brown, LCSW

Jill Brown is a licensed clinical social worker in New York State who focuses on helping individuals, couples, and family members navigate depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges. She draws on eighteen years of clinical experience to work with people of all ages, with particular emphasis on adults and older adults. Her practice includes grief counseling, support for life transitions, self-esteem and confidence building, and work with individuals on the autism spectrum. She has also treated clients managing ADHD, OCD, adjustment disorders, and agoraphobia.

Jill offers a flexible, client-centered approach that supports each person in defining their own goals. She brings a warm, compassionate style to therapeutic conversations and emphasizes respect and care throughout the process. Her therapeutic toolkit includes techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, person-centered approaches, and a strengths-based perspective. Treatment plans are shaped by the concerns and objectives the client identifies, with an open and nonjudgmental stance maintained across the therapeutic alliance.

Recognizing that reaching out for support takes courage, Jill aims to meet that courage with respect and attentive care. She welcomes the opportunity to work collaboratively with clients as they address difficult moments and pursue meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions

Jill uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and commit to actions that align with those values. This approach supports people working through anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions by focusing on meaningful change rather than symptom elimination.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often useful for managing anxiety, mood concerns, relationship difficulties, sleep problems, and coping with everyday stressors.

Client-centered therapy is another guiding influence in her work, emphasizing empathy, respect, and collaboration so clients set the pace and direction of their own healing. Jill works with each person to determine which methods fit best, adapting techniques to match the client’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances.

Online therapy with Jill is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and connect with licensed professionals and therapists from a convenient location.
