About Jeanne

Jeanne Brown greets families and parents with a calm, practical style. She focuses on helping people who are juggling parenting, family stress, anxiety, addictions, or big life changes. Her tone is steady and supportive, and she aims to make therapy feel straightforward and doable for busy households.

She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor - LMHC and LPC - with practice tied to New York.

Background and approach

Jeanne trained in human services and mental health counseling and earned a master’s degree from Capella University. She also completed certificates in play therapy and in the contemporary theory of compulsive and addictive behavior. Jeanne has worked in both New York and Virginia and has about 10 years of clinical experience in settings that include community and outpatient care.

Her background includes work with children, adolescents, parents, adults, families, and groups across several roles. That range informs how she tailors sessions to different ages and family situations. In sessions she uses a non-directive, person-centered stance.

For adults she focuses on listening, reflection, and supporting clients to find their own solutions. With children and teens she often uses play therapy approaches so they can express and work through concerns in ways that feel natural to them. Practical help is emphasized.

Parents can expect clear, compassionate support for parenting challenges, coping with ADHD, mood concerns, trauma, addiction-related issues, and relationship or family stress. Jeanne aims to help families build skills that fit their daily lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online care for families

Jeanne uses person-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people discover their own solutions. This approach is helpful for parents and adults who want a collaborative space to talk through stress, relationship concerns, or mood issues.

She also uses play therapy techniques when working with children and adolescents. Play therapy lets young people show feelings and work through problems through play instead of only talking, which helps with behaviors, anxiety, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and needs with each family or individual and adapt methods as those goals become clearer. That lets families try practical options and adjust based on what works best.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video and phone let for real-time conversations, while messaging and live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, progress updates, and support between sessions. These options can help busy parents fit therapy into their routines and make consistent work easier to sustain.
