About Ja’Lise

Ja’Lise Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three years of post-master's practice. She moved to Mississippi in 2015 and has worked in child welfare, public schools, church ministry, retail, and community mental health. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationships, family conflict, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction concerns, grief, parenting, and anger. She also supports those facing issues with self-esteem, career change, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach blends practical strategies and conversations that get to the heart of everyday problems. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to interrupt unhelpful thoughts and teach coping skills. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find reasons for change, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals. Internal Family Systems ideas are used when understanding internal parts feels useful.

Her early work in child welfare and schools shaped how she notices family patterns and communication problems. That background also contributed to helping clients with attachment concerns, fatherhood issues, commitment problems, and forgiveness work. She writes, plays guitar, leads worship, and brings a creative, straightforward style to sessions.

Sessions address practical matters like money and work stress, parenting strain, impulsivity, jealousy, and isolation. She invites direct conversation about values, faith, and multicultural concerns when clients want that included. The first session is about understanding goals and deciding steps forward.

Getting started involves selecting the See online therapy options button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How her approaches work for online sessions

Ja’Lise uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and problem-focused, useful for anger, anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings concrete skills for managing emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, helpful for strong reactions and relationship strain. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring motivation and encouraging small, workable changes when someone feels stuck.

Finding the right approach happens together. She will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on your goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps match methods to the specific problems you want to address, whether anger at work, snapping at loved ones, or long-standing resentment.

Confirm current session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, like scheduling brief check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time for appointments. It can also allow choosing a session length and pacing that fit routines and responsibilities. If you prefer specific session logistics, check the available options during the scheduling step.
