About Jill

Jill Brown is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who concentrates on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She draws on 18 years of practice to support clients facing challenges with self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, parenting, sleep disruptions, trauma and abuse, anger, and major life transitions. Her work also encompasses concerns such as caregiver stress, chronic illness, autism spectrum issues, and family-of-origin dynamics.

Her style is warm, compassionate, and client-focused, with an emphasis on collaboration. Jill tailors her approach to each person, helping them clarify goals and choose strategies that fit their values and daily life.

She uses evidence-informed techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to offer practical tools and emotional support. Jill has experience across the adult lifespan with a special focus on adults and older adults.

She invites people to bring their strengths and courage into the therapeutic process and aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where meaningful change can begin.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Delivery



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clients to clarify what matters most to them and to commit to value-driven actions, helping with issues like anxiety, depression, and life transitions by building psychological flexibility. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning for concerns such as stress, insomnia, and mood difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and self-compassion, offering tools to manage emotional reactivity and persistent worry.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods align with their goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or mobility concerns. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional while fitting therapy into a busy life.
