About Jalisa
Jalisa Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, grief, anger, ADHD, and other life shifts. Her style is direct and respectful and she aims to make therapy feel practical and manageable for busy lives.
Jalisa takes a client-centered approach that starts with listening. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and works together with them to set goals.
How Jalisa works
Sessions focus on identifying strengths and small steps that fit a person’s routine and values. She weaves several methods into care depending on what fits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to map how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters and take action toward those values. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be used for those with trauma histories. Jalisa has experience in hospitals, residential treatment, and higher education settings.
That background informs how she supports people moving through major life changes, caregiving stress, burnout, and multicultural concerns. Her work often addresses family of origin issues, communication problems, and feelings of isolation. She emphasizes practical tools and steady progress.
Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm, improve communication, and rebuild confidence. Jalisa works in North Carolina and conducts therapy in English.

Online support options
Therapeutic methods and online options that fit your life
Jalisa uses approaches that focus on values, thinking patterns, and trauma recovery. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify their values and take small steps toward them even when emotions feel difficult. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. This can help with mood, anxiety, and coping strategies. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that can reduce the hold of disturbing memories and related symptoms.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. Clients are invited to share preferences and to move at a pace that fits their needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls create face-to-face time when that matters. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to keep momentum between sessions or when someone prefers typed conversation. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use methods like CBT, ACT, or EMDR in ways that work for daily life.
