About Jalisa

Jalisa Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. She works with clients on parenting and family concerns, grief, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and life transitions. Her approach centers on the person in front of her and what they want to change.

Jalisa keeps sessions practical and goal-focused. She helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try new habits using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Background and approach

Her background includes work in inpatient psychiatric care, residential behavioral treatment, a medical hospital setting including pediatric intensive care, and higher education. Those roles shaped her comfort with both short-term crisis work and longer-term change.

Jalisa uses a strengths-based, client-centered stance. She treats people as the experts on their own lives and collaborates on plans that feel doable. She also brings experience with trauma-focused tools to address past hurt and its effects on daily life.

She has particular interest in racial equity, ethnic diversity, and women’s empowerment, and pays attention to how physical health and mental health interact. Jalisa practices in North Carolina and works with people who want a practical, compassionate path forward.

Online support

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions aligned with their values to build a meaningful life. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, grief, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences rather than imposing a single style.

Online sessions offer flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a good option when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing written reflection, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between appointments.
