Jeanne Brown

Jeanne Brown is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, or changes in life. She works with adults, adolescents, children, and parents who are coping with substance use concerns, depression, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. Jeanne writes plainly and aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable and clear.

She brings a decade of work in counseling and many more years in related roles across New York and Virginia. Jeanne uses a non-directive, person-centered style with adults. That means she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and supports each person in finding their own solutions.

When working with children and teens she draws on Play Therapy methods, using play as a way for young people to show what they are feeling and to practice new ways of coping. For people facing substance use issues she pairs practical support with steady, nonjudgmental presence.

Jeanne earned a master’s degree in Human Services with a focus on mental health counseling and holds both LMHC and LPC credentials. Her background includes community and outpatient settings as well as supervisory roles, which inform a balanced, experienced approach.

She aims to build a respectful, collaborative relationship where the individual remains the focus. Sessions emphasize empathy, realistic steps, and skills that fit daily life. For parents and caregivers she offers straightforward guidance to reduce conflict and improve family interactions.

How Jeanne’s approaches translate to online therapy

Jeanne draws on a person-centered approach that focuses on listening, reflection, and helping people discover their own next steps. This method helps when someone needs emotional support, clearer thinking about decisions, or practical ways to reduce anger and stress. It centers the client's priorities rather than following a strict script.

She also uses Play Therapy methods with children and adolescents, where play becomes the medium for expressing feelings and trying out new responses. In an online setting this can involve guided activities, observation, and coaching for parents to support the child between sessions. For substance use concerns she offers steady, nonjudgmental support alongside practical problem-solving to help manage cravings, triggers, and daily routines.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Jeanne will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and comfort level, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative planning helps ensure therapy feels relevant and doable.

Confirm the specific session options before booking since formats in the biography include messaging, live chat, and phone. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people maintain continuity of care across life changes while working with a licensed professional.
