About Jalissa
Jalissa Newton is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience. She practices in South Carolina and works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, career challenges, and anger. She also supports those coping with grief, addictions, parenting pressures, ADHD, and life transitions.
She starts by listening to each person’s story and identifying strengths that matter in daily life. Sessions focus on practical steps - clearer communication, managing intense feelings, and building small routines that reduce overwhelm. She avoids jargon and keeps the conversation direct and action oriented.
When anger shows up as sudden outbursts, simmering resentment, or tension around others, she helps people notice triggers and choose different responses. For career and motivation concerns, she works through obstacles that block progress and helps set achievable goals. For anxiety and stress, she emphasizes simple coping strategies you can practice between sessions.
Her approach treats therapy as a collaborative process. She checks progress, adjusts plans, and sets short-term targets. People leaving sessions often have concrete ideas to try before the next meeting.
Jalissa’s background includes a decade of clinical work across several states. She identifies practical strengths in each person and builds on them. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule their first session through the site.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Person-centered approaches focus on the person’s own goals and strengths. The therapist listens, reflects what matters to the client, and helps turn strengths into practical steps. This helps with anger that comes from feeling misunderstood or stuck.Cognitive-behavioral techniques look at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. These methods include identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them in real life, and practicing alternative reactions. They commonly help with anxiety, anger outbursts, and work-related stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. Plans are reviewed and adjusted as needed, so people try methods and report back on what works.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping progress steady between meetings. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to attend during a lunch break, reduce travel time, and let people use tools or worksheets together on-screen.
