Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions with Ja’Lise Brown

Ja’Lise often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop more effective behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills - tools that can be especially helpful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work - Ja’Lise collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time so therapy remains practical and aligned with what matters most to the client.
