About Jeanne

Jeanne Brown is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, depression, and other challenges. She practices in New York and brings a straightforward, supportive style to sessions. Jeanne speaks English and aims to help clients find clearer ways forward.

Jeanne has worked in mental health since 2010 and counts over a decade of practice as a counselor in community and outpatient settings. Her background includes roles with children, adolescents, parents, adults, and groups. She describes counseling as a collaborative relationship where the person remains the central focus.

Her approach leans on a non-directive, person-centered way of working. With adults she prioritizes empathy, acceptance, and support while helping people uncover their own solutions. With children and adolescents she uses play therapy techniques so young people can express and process feelings through play.

Jeanne also has training related to compulsive and addictive behavior and substance use. She uses that background to help people who are managing substance-related concerns or who want to change their use patterns. She aims to offer practical support and understanding rather than prescriptive direction.

In practice she has offered individual, family, and group work and has experience in administrative roles. Her sessions emphasize adapting to each person’s needs and building on strengths to make steps toward healthier routines and relationships.

How Jeanne’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Jeanne uses a person-centered approach that focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting clients as they identify their own solutions. This method helps with anxiety, stress, and decisions about behavior change by encouraging self-directed problem solving and steady emotional support.

She also uses play therapy techniques with children and adolescents, which uses play as a way for young people to express feelings and work through challenges. For substance-related concerns she draws on contemporary understanding of compulsive and addictive behaviors to guide conversations about patterns, motivations, and practical steps toward change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jeanne will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on goals and preferences. That discussion shapes the plan and can change as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy day. Online work can reduce travel time and make it simpler to check in between commitments. Session formats supported by this therapist should be confirmed before booking so you know whether messaging, live chat, phone, or other options are available for your needs.
