About Jeanne
Jeanne Brown welcomes parents who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure what to do next. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and handle difficult behavior at home. Jeanne writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person.
Jeanne is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor - LMHC, LPC - with ten years of experience in this role and many more years working with children and adults in clinical settings.
Background and approach
She has a background supporting people facing addiction, mood challenges, trauma, parenting stress, and attention differences. Her years in both New York and Virginia shaped a flexible, down-to-earth style. Her approach centers on a person-focused, non-directive way of working.
With adults she uses a person-centered style that emphasizes empathy, respect, and helping clients notice their own solutions. With children and adolescents she offers play-based methods that let young people express themselves through play while the therapist helps them make sense of feelings and behavior.
In sessions Jeanne aims to help parents learn concrete techniques for handling anger, defiance, and common behavior struggles. She also supports people coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and relationship stress. Conversations move at the client's pace and focus on realistic steps parents can try between sessions.
Jeanne typically offers messaging, live chat, phone sessions, and video calls. She encourages people to reach out and see if a collaborative, supportive approach fits their family needs.

Evidence-based approaches and online care for parents
Jeanne uses person-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people identify their own goals and solutions. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and building self-esteem because it centers the client's experience and strengths.She also uses play-based person-centered work with children and adolescents. Play offers a natural way for young people to show feelings and try out new behaviors while the therapist guides understanding and practical handling of troublesome behavior and emotional upset.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jeanne works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, pace, and family situation, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients and therapist check in together about what feels useful and what might change.
Online care offers practical benefits for busy parents. Video calls let therapists observe interactions and work through real situations. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions, ask quick questions, or get support when schedules are tight. These options provide flexibility to match different days and needs.
