About Ja’Lise
Ja’Lise Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three years of practice. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting, and addiction among the areas she helps people with.
She began practicing full time in 2017 after moving to Mississippi in 2015. Her background includes child welfare, public schools, church ministry, community mental health, and work in a retail setting. Those roles shaped how she approaches problems and conversations in sessions.
Ja’Lise uses practical, straightforward methods to help people sort out what matters most. She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to guide the work. Treatment aims are set together and adjusted as needs change.
In sessions she talks through patterns of thinking and behavior, offers skills for managing strong feelings, and helps people clarify goals for relationships and parenting. She also addresses issues like grief, intimacy questions, self-esteem, and caregiver stress. Counseling can include short-term problem solving or ongoing support based on the person’s goals.
Outside of clinical work she is active in church music, plays guitar, and writes poetry and prose. Those interests inform a practical, person-centered stance in sessions. To begin she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic methods translate to online work
Ja’Lise frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when working with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and parenting questions. CBT focuses on noticing and testing thoughts and behaviors to create small, practical changes. DBT offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and reducing impulsive reactions.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and build commitment to specific changes. That approach is helpful for issues like addiction, motivation challenges, and making difficult life changes. Together these methods provide both short-term problem solving and steps for longer-term change. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and shifting focus as needs evolve.
The therapist biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for more consistent check-ins. Some approaches lend themselves to brief skill-focused sessions while others may benefit from longer conversations; she will help match the session length and focus to the client’s needs.
