Jill Holmes-Brown , LCSW

Jill Holmes-Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 20 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and families. She earned a master’s degree from the University of Connecticut in 1998 with a specialization in Individual and Group Therapy. As an LCSW, she provides clinical assessment and psychotherapy informed by extensive experience across developmental stages and family systems.

Her practice emphasizes a non-judgmental, relationship-centered approach that prioritizes rapport, compassion, acceptance, and understanding. She views each person through a multicultural lens and attends to the diverse experiences and backgrounds that shape identity and coping. Jill works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family challenges, grief, addictions, sexual and intimacy concerns, parenting struggles, eating and sleeping issues, and life transitions including career and identity-related changes. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, blended family dynamics, commitment and communication difficulties, and chronic emotion regulation problems.

Jill integrates evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused interventions to tailor treatment to each individual and family. Therapy can be provided via video sessions, phone sessions, messaging, or live chat as appropriate to a client’s needs and preferences.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jill Holmes-Brown commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy along with mindfulness-based practices in her clinical work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and mood concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) focuses on skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, which can be especially useful for people coping with intense emotions, relationship conflict, or patterns of impulsivity. Mindfulness therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and self-compassion to support coping with stress, trauma responses, and ongoing life challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jill will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adapted over time based on progress and the client’s experience.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from home or another convenient location. Licensed professionals can use these modalities to provide structured, goal-oriented work that aligns with an individual’s lifestyle and treatment objectives.
