About Ja’Lise

Ja’Lise Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three years of clinical experience based in Mississippi. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, and other life challenges.

Before practicing full time, she worked in child welfare, public schools, church ministry, Apple Retail, and community mental health. Those roles shaped how she approaches therapy and the kinds of problems she supports people with. Her background includes work with grief, addictions, parenting strain, ADHD, and caregiver stress.

In sessions she uses evidence-informed tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. She focuses on clear, practical steps clients can try between sessions. Discussions often center on communication problems, impulse control, and rebuilding trust after infidelity or conflict.

Her personal interests include music, writing, and creative design, and she brings that practical creativity into therapy work. She speaks English and bases her practice in Mississippi. International clients are not accepted.

How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions

Ja’Lise uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in ways that translate well to talk-based work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments. It can help with anger that comes from automatic thoughts or stressful situations. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Those tools are useful when anger feels overwhelming or leads to repeated conflict.

Motivational Interviewing complements these approaches by helping people clarify what they want to change and find their own reasons to try new behaviors. This method is collaborative and brief, and it works well when someone is weighing changes in responses, habits, or relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and what shows the most early benefit. That conversation usually happens in the first few sessions and can be adjusted over time.

The original biography did not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time so more energy goes into the work itself.
