Jill Holmes-Brown

Jill Holmes-Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and sleep and eating difficulties. She also helps with parenting strain, intimacy and communication problems, and issues around self-esteem and life transitions.

Jill begins by building a warm, nonjudgmental rapport. She listens to what matters most and moves at each person’s pace. Her work emphasizes compassion, acceptance, and understanding. She considers cultural background and life story when shaping conversations.

Her day-to-day style is practical and collaborative. Jill uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice patterns in thinking and behavior. She draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and coping strategies. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused techniques are used to identify small, achievable changes.

Jill trained at the University of Connecticut, where she completed a master’s degree in 1998 with a focus on individual and group work. She brings two decades of hands-on clinical work to sessions and adapts methods to each person’s needs.

People who reach out can expect clear communication about goals and straightforward steps between sessions. Jill helps clients set manageable actions, practice new skills, and track progress. She invites conversations about what is and isn’t working so plans can be adjusted together.
