Jennifer Brown, LICSW

Jennifer Brown is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She works with individuals and couples and draws on a range of approaches to meet real-life needs. Her style is straightforward and practical so people can use what they learn right away.

She trained at Columbia University and has about ten years of clinical experience, including work in psychiatric emergency rooms and inpatient psychiatric units. For roughly nine years she has provided outpatient therapy, helping people after crises and during ongoing life changes. That background shapes how she balances immediate coping skills with deeper understanding.

Jennifer uses a flexible approach and mixes methods to match each person. She often brings in cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors. She also uses dialectical behavior strategies to teach emotion regulation and mindfulness practices to ground people in the present.

Attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas inform her work on relationship patterns and family dynamics. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions and communication. That helps couples and individuals see repeated patterns and try new ways of relating.

Her practice includes a wide range of concerns such as trauma and post-traumatic stress, addictions, grief, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, eating and intimacy-related problems, and matters around adoption and foster care. She also addresses issues specific to women and to veteran and armed forces experiences.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early connections shape current relationships and patterns. Online sessions can be used to map those patterns and practice new ways of relating in real time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear exercises and homework tasks, which adapt well to online conversations and between-session practice. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve focus, and those skills are easy to learn and repeat during remote sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and daily life. That may mean starting with CBT skills to stabilize mood, then moving into attachment work for relationship issues. The plan changes with what works for the client.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking so you know what’s available for scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, cut commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using digital tools for worksheets, symptom tracking, and homework between meetings to help carry progress into everyday life.
