About Ja’Lise

Ja’Lise Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with three years of practice experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and issues related to addiction and grief. She also addresses intimacy, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

She moved to Mississippi in 2015 and began full-time social work in 2017. Her work history includes child welfare, public schools, church ministry, Apple Retail, and community mental health. Those roles shaped how she approaches clients and the practical skills she brings to sessions.

Her style focuses on connection and straightforward conversation. She encourages honest talk about feelings and thoughts and helps people notice patterns that get in the way. Sessions draw on methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems when appropriate.

She also pays attention to issues that often sit beneath surface problems, such as attachment concerns, caregiver stress, commitment worries, communication breakdowns, and cultural or multicultural factors. Practical goals are common in her work, for example managing anger, improving communication, or addressing financial stress.

Outside of clinical work she leads worship, plays guitar, and spends time writing poetry and music. She emphasizes human connection as a path around social divisions and brings that perspective into helping people rebuild or strengthen relationships.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and practical problem solving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication. It often helps with strong emotions, anger, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of talking that helps people find their own reasons for change. It is frequently used when someone is unsure about changing habits or faces addiction or ambivalence about treatment.

Choosing the right approach is part of the first sessions. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice may shift over time as progress or obstacles become clearer.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time, which can make consistent care easier to sustain. Confirm current session formats before booking so you know which options are available. Sessions aim to be practical and goal-focused to fit into everyday life and responsibilities.
