About Jill
Jill Brown is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports those dealing with parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her work includes helping people navigate life changes and challenges to self-esteem.
She keeps sessions simple and focused on what the person wants to change. Jill listens without judgment and helps clients set clear, realistic goals.
How Jill works
She uses practical tools to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Jill draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and a client-centered outlook. She blends these ideas to suit each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method.
Sessions emphasize workable strategies and small steps forward. With 18 years of experience, she has supported people facing trauma and abuse, family-of-origin problems, abandonment worries, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and issues around commitment and communication. She also works with concerns related to aging, autism spectrum, cancer, and chronic pain.
Her approach is collaborative. Clients help shape the plan, and progress is checked regularly. Jill aims to make therapy feel practical, humane, and manageable for people juggling busy lives.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Jill draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values, accept difficult feelings, and take committed action toward a meaningful life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jill works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She adjusts strategies over time so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and emotional support. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or maintaining contact between longer sessions, offering flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
