Jennifer Brown , LICSW

Jennifer Brown is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who brings years of clinical experience across emergency, inpatient, and outpatient settings. She earned a Masters degree from Columbia University in New York, NY, and began her career working in psychiatric emergency rooms and on inpatient psychiatric units before moving into outpatient care. Jennifer has provided outpatient therapy for nine years and has worked extensively with both individuals and couples.

Her practice emphasizes communication as a central pathway to change - small shifts in how people express needs and listen to one another can transform relationships. She takes an eclectic, tailored approach to treatment, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic ideas to meet each person or family where they are. Jennifer has experience with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, post-traumatic stress, depression, relationship and gender issues, parenting and co-parenting challenges, and substance-related difficulties.

Jennifer has a strong interest in couples and family work and in areas such as adoption and foster care and attachment issues. She values serving as an objective, informed sounding board when people who shared the same event interpret it differently - creating space for new understanding and real change. As an LICSW, she holds a professional clinical social work license that authorizes independent practice as a clinical social worker.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy for Relationships and Emotional Health

Jennifer draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which explores how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and helps people build more secure bonds and clearer communication. This approach can be especially helpful for adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and difficulties in close relationships.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, emphasizing respect, empathy, and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while identifying their own goals and solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core tool - it focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jennifer works collaboratively with each person or couple to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, geographic distance, or mobility constraints. Licensed professionals can deliver consistent care across these formats, allowing clients to engage in meaningful therapeutic work in ways that fit their lives.
