About Ja’Lise
Ja’Lise Brown is an LCSW with three years of clinical experience based in Mississippi. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression among the issues she helps people address. She also works with addiction, grief, intimacy-related struggles, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.
Brown began practicing full time social work in 2017 after moving to Mississippi in 2015. Her background includes child welfare, public schools, church ministry, Apple Retail, and community mental health. Those roles shaped how she approaches the work and the practical skills she uses in sessions.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as one of her primary tools to help people notice thoughts and habits that influence feelings and actions. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems when they fit the situation.
In sessions she emphasizes connection and honest conversation. She aims to help people name what they are dealing with and try small, concrete changes to see what helps. She invites discussions about values and faith when clients want to include them.
Outside of clinical work she plays guitar, leads worship, and writes poetry and music. Creative interests inform her practical style by encouraging different ways to express feelings and try new behaviors.

How CBT and skills-based methods are used in online sessions
Ja’Lise commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts that lead to unhelpful feelings and actions and then practice new responses. CBT focuses on clear, observable steps - tracking thoughts, testing small behavior changes, and reviewing what works. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It emphasizes breathing, grounding, emotion regulation, and communication skills. Motivational Interviewing helps with ambivalence about change; it uses short conversations to clarify values and boost motivation.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist and client look at concerns, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Sometimes sessions use one approach for a period; other times they combine tools from CBT, DBT, or motivational interviewing based on what helps most.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or family schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use video or audio depending on bandwidth or comfort. The therapist will discuss which format and scheduling pattern fits practical needs when arranging the first session.
