Ja’Lise Brown, LCSW - Therapist in Mississippi

About Ja’Lise

Ja’Lise Brown is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who centers practical, evidence-informed approaches in therapy. She uses methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Her style is straightforward and collaborative, aimed at helping parents and family members find clearer ways to communicate and cope.

She moved to Mississippi in 2015 and began full-time social work in 2017.

Background and approach

Early roles included child welfare, public schools, church ministry, Apple Retail, and community mental health. Those varied settings shaped how she works with families and individuals facing trauma, grief, addiction, and parenting challenges. Sessions focus on real problems and step-by-step strategies.

She also draws on solution-focused techniques and motivational interviewing to set goals and build momentum. Internal Family Systems ideas inform work on attachment, identity, and family dynamics. Clients can expect a nonjudgmental space to talk through difficult feelings and to try small changes between meetings.

She helps people sort priorities, practice new communication skills, and manage strong emotions like anger, shame, or grief. Outside of clinical work she leads worship and plays guitar, and she enjoys writing poetry and stories. Those creative interests influence her personalized approach to care, bringing warmth and practical support to the work with families and parents.

Evidence-based approaches for online family support

Ja’Lise uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and practical problem solving. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness when tensions run high.

The therapist views finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust plans based on what works. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to family or parenting needs and to changing circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule around work, school, and caregiving duties and to check in between longer sessions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, role-play conversations, and follow progress over time.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
