About Jalisa

Jalisa Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and parenting concerns. She also supports people coping with grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and life transitions. Her work can include issues tied to family of origin, multicultural concerns, and caregiver stress.

She uses a client-centered style that treats each person as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on strengths and practical steps.

Background and approach

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) techniques where helpful.

Jalisa has practiced in a variety of clinical settings including inpatient psychiatric care, residential behavioral treatment, a medical hospital pediatric intensive care unit, and higher education. That mix of work informs a flexible approach to different problems and life stages. She brings nine years of experience to her clinical work.

In sessions she prioritizes collaboration. Clients and the therapist set goals together and build a plan that fits day-to-day life. The focus is on small, useful changes that can add up over time.

Her areas of interest include racial equality, ethnic diversity, and women's empowerment, and she pays attention to how physical health and mental health interact. Sessions are offered in English and held online in formats that match the client's needs.

Online support

How therapy methods translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) involves structured processing of traumatic memories and can be used when trauma or abuse is a core concern.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit each person, and adjust the plan together. This collaborative process helps identify which techniques feel most helpful over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people read facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer ongoing support and flexibility for brief updates or between-session contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
