Jeanne Brown

Jeanne Brown is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship strain, and life transitions. She names coping with life changes as a common focus and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Jeanne writes in a warm, encouraging way and invites people to explore next steps at a comfortable pace.

Jeanne earned a Master’s degree in Human Services with a specialization in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. She also completed certificates related to compulsive and addictive behavior and Play Therapy. Jeanne holds LMHC and LPC credentials in New York and Virginia and has worked in mental health settings since 2010, with additional roles beginning earlier in her career.

Her approach for adults is person-centered and non-directive. She listens for strengths and helps clients notice their own next steps. For children and adolescents she uses a person-centered Play Therapy style that lets play be the main way the child expresses and works through problems.

Jeanne has experience in community-based programs, outpatient care, and administrative settings. She has helped people facing substance use, anxiety, depression, anger, defiant behaviors, ADHD, trauma, and compassion fatigue. Her work emphasizes empathy, sensitivity, and adapting to each person’s cultural background.

Practical support is part of Jeanne’s practice. She encourages people to take an active role in therapy while she provides support, reflection, and acceptance as clients try new strategies and make changes.

How Jeanne’s Methods Translate to Online Care

Jeanne uses evidence-based, person-centered approaches that focus on listening and helping people find workable next steps. Person-centered counseling emphasizes empathy, reflection, and supporting clients as they identify their own solutions; this approach helps with stress, anxiety, motivation, and relationship concerns. Play Therapy for children and adolescents uses toys and activities as a way to express feelings and process difficulties, helping young people work through behavior and emotional challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jeanne will talk with each person about goals and preferences and make collaborative decisions about which methods to try. That conversation guides how sessions are structured and what techniques are introduced over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as keeping regular appointments around work, school, or caregiving. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and options that do not require video if that is a better fit for someone. Confirm the current session formats available with Jeanne before booking so you know which options will be used for your care.
