About Jill
Jill Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 18 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem, depression, LGBT concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, sleep difficulties, parenting, anger, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
She works with adults and older adults and has supported people facing abandonment, aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, cancer, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, commitment and communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, emptiness, and family of origin concerns. Sessions address practical problems and everyday coping rather than labels alone.
Her style is collaborative and goal-focused. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, mindfulness work, Motivational Interviewing, and a client-centered stance. Conversations often focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors in small steps.
In a typical session she helps people clarify what matters, set manageable goals, and practice concrete strategies for stress, sleep, or relationship patterns. She also supports grief processing and adjustment after major life changes. Jill aims to keep work straightforward and actionable so people can try changes between meetings.
Clients can expect sessions that center their goals and priorities. Jill draws on multiple approaches to match the work to what someone needs at the time. She works from New York and offers services in English.
How her CBT and ACT approaches work online
Jill uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions often focus on specific problems like sleep, anxiety, or relationship interactions and include concrete practice items to try between meetings.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can be useful for coping with loss, chronic stress, or life transitions by linking action to what matters most.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Jill discusses practical goals and preferences with each person and adapts the mix of CBT, ACT, mindfulness, or DBT skills accordingly. That collaborative process helps identify which techniques fit the client's needs and routine.
