About Jill
Jill Holmes-Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, CT LCSW, with 20 years of experience. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, and parenting challenges. Jill also addresses intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people sort out what matters most to them. Jill draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to offer practical skills and clearer thinking. Sessions are paced by the client and emphasize a respectful, non-judgmental relationship.
Jill pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes and how blended family dynamics or codependency can shape current struggles. She also helps people work through commitment and communication problems in relationships. The focus is on identifying small, manageable steps that reduce immediate distress.
Her background includes a master’s degree from the University of Connecticut with a specialization in individual and group therapy. Over two decades she has worked with children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and families in clinical settings. That experience informs practical strategies that fit daily life.
People can expect direct guidance, concrete coping tools, and help prioritizing goals. Jill aims to consider cultural and life differences when planning treatment and to collaborate on approaches that match each person’s situation.
BHow sessions work
How Jill’s approaches translate to online work
Jill commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to change mood and behavior. DBT emphasizes skills such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication to manage intense feelings and improve relationships.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention and grounding practices that reduce reactivity. Each approach offers concrete tools, which can be practiced between sessions and reviewed together. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the collaborative process; Jill will work with each person to decide which strategies fit their goals and everyday life.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling around work or family responsibilities and saving travel time. Because session formats were not specified in the profile, confirm the current options before booking. The goal is to make therapy fit into a busy week, whether that means shorter check-ins or sessions scheduled at convenient times.
