Jennifer Brown , LICSW

Jennifer Brown is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a Masters degree from Columbia University in New York, NY. She began her clinical work in high-intensity settings, including psychiatric emergency rooms and inpatient psychiatric units, and has since focused on outpatient therapy for approximately 10 years.

She brings extensive experience working with both couples and individuals, and emphasizes clear communication as a cornerstone of healthy relationships. She believes that modifying communication styles can produce significant shifts in how partners relate to one another, and she often helps couples and families explore differing interpretations of the same event to foster mutual understanding.

Jennifer works with a broad range of concerns, including anxiety, post-traumatic stress, depression, relationship challenges, gender-related issues, and parenting or co-parenting difficulties. Her approach is intentionally eclectic - she integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic techniques to tailor care to each person or family. By offering an objective, unbiased perspective, she supports clients in identifying patterns, building new skills, and making meaningful changes over time.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns influence present-day connections. It helps people and couples understand emotional needs, repair ruptures, and build more secure ways of relating to partners and family members.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to shift them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors because it teaches concrete strategies for coping and problem solving.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is particularly helpful for people who struggle with impulsivity, emotional regulation, or recurring relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. A licensed professional will collaborate with the client to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt techniques over time based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for different schedules and life circumstances. These options make it easier to engage in regular sessions from different locations and can increase access for international clients or those balancing work and family commitments.
