About Ja’Lise

Ja’Lise Brown brings an Internal Family Systems-informed approach to her clinical work, blending it with practical therapies that target patterns of thought and behavior.

Background and approach

She frames therapy around connection and aims to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting struggles, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes. Her work also addresses ADHD, compassion fatigue, and a range of relational and multicultural issues.

With an MS and LCSW license, she has delivered social work services since 2017 after moving to Mississippi in 2015, accumulating three years of focused clinical experience. Her background spans child welfare, public schools, church ministry, retail, and community mental health, which informs a flexible, person-centered style.

She invites clients into a collaborative space where values, creativity, and faith can be acknowledged while exploring patterns and building new skills. Those starting therapy are encouraged that she will support them through the process of change and growth.

Integrating IFS, CBT, and DBT into online care



Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps clients explore internal parts and understand how different feelings and beliefs relate to one another, often supporting work with trauma, relationship patterns, and self-regulation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively to determine what fits each client's needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may begin with exploring priorities and then adapt techniques from these models to match what helps the client make progress.

Online therapy offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule around work, family, and other commitments. These formats allow ongoing skill practice, timely check-ins, and continued momentum between sessions while preserving the collaborative, focused nature of the therapeutic work.
