About Jennifer
Jennifer Brown is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping parents manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and the everyday chaos of family life. Her approach aims to make conversations easier and to find practical steps parents can try between sessions.
Jennifer trained at Columbia University where she earned a Master of Arts, and she has experience in psychiatric emergency rooms and inpatient psychiatric units.
Background and approach
For the past decade she has provided outpatient therapy and supported people coping with depression, trauma, addictions, and grief. Her background brings familiarity with intense moments and quieter, ongoing struggles. In sessions she blends different methods rather than using a single technique.
She commonly draws on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, and psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns from the past. This mix is adapted to each person's situation and goals. Communication is a central theme in her work.
She helps people notice how they say things, how they respond, and what shifts might ease tension at home. That often leads to clearer boundaries, fewer repeated arguments, and more confidence in parenting choices. She also works with issues related to adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, divorce and separation, and relationship challenges such as infidelity and non-monogamous arrangements.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients from Massachusetts.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they form bonds, respond to conflict, and seek comfort, which can be useful for parents navigating attachment or adoption questions.Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience at the center. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client's lead, helping uncover what matters most and supporting choices without pushing solutions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress management and offers concrete exercises to practice between sessions.
Finding the best approach is a shared process. Jennifer works with each client to decide which methods to try based on goals, current concerns, and personal preference. She adjusts the plan over time and checks in about what is and isn't helping.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and to continue momentum between meetings.
