About JaLisa
JaLisa Giles helps people feeling stuck by focusing on what matters most to them. She is direct and down-to-earth. Her style is conversational so clients can speak plainly about stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes.
JaLisa uses straightforward tools to set clear goals and make steady progress. She holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and brings eight years of clinical experience.
Her practice in Texas includes additional focus areas such as aging and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, blended family challenges, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, co-morbidity, communication problems, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, and questions of life purpose.
How JaLisa works
JaLisa blends practical techniques with attention to each person’s cultural background and identity. She aims to create an affirming space where people feel seen and respected while they talk through hard problems. Conversations are meant to translate into manageable steps and clearer choices.
Her approach favors collaboration. She listens to what’s working and what isn’t, then builds a plan together. Sessions tend to focus on skills you can use in daily life, ways to change unhelpful thinking, and strategies to improve relationships and mood.
People who want a warm but honest therapist often choose her because she balances compassion with direct feedback. Her goal is to turn insight into practical change so stress and anxiety feel more manageable over time.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
JaLisa commonly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing thoughts and building coping skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced thoughts; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Strength-based approaches focus on identifying a person’s existing resources and talents, then using those strengths to meet goals and handle life transitions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and tailor methods to your goals and preferences. Together you will try strategies and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits your life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep regular sessions, manage follow-ups, and fit therapy into a busy schedule.
