About Jalisa

Jalisa Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. She also supports those dealing with parenting and caregiver stress, grief, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD. Her approach centers on the person in front of her and what they want to change.

She draws on practical methods like cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-focused strategies. Sessions aim to identify patterns of thinking and behavior, then test new ways of coping.

Background and approach

EMDR is part of her toolkit for processing traumatic memories when that fits a person’s needs. Jalisa favors short-term skill building alongside deeper work. People can expect a strengths-based tone that looks for what’s working and builds on it.

She uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people find motivation for change and to set realistic goals. Her background includes a range of care settings such as inpatient psychiatric work, residential behavioral treatment, a medical hospital environment, and higher education. That variety informs how she adapts sessions to different lives and stressors.

Jalisa practices in North Carolina and brings nine years of experience to her work. She pays special attention to multicultural concerns, racial equality, and women’s empowerment, and she often pairs practical coping tools with conversations about identity and values.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values despite difficult feelings; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns for depression, anxiety, and impulsivity. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) involves structured techniques to process distressing memories and can help when trauma keeps affecting daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Then she and the client will try methods that feel like a good fit and adjust as progress is made, keeping the plan collaborative.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets the therapist and client see one another and use visual cues. Phone sessions can be a lighter option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text let people check in during a busy day or exchange brief updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules while using the described approaches to address symptoms and goals.
