About JaLisa
JaLisa Giles is an LCSW who helps people facing anxiety, stress, grief, depression, and self-esteem struggles. She writes plainly and talks with clients about practical steps they can try between sessions. Her goal is to make therapy feel like a real conversation that leads to change.
JaLisa brings eight years of experience practicing in Texas. She listens for what matters most to each person and focuses on clear, doable goals.
Background and approach
She aims to honor cultural background and the realities people bring into the room. Her sessions blend evidence-based techniques with strength-focused conversation. That means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, noticing personal strengths, and working toward small behavior changes that add up.
She also draws on insight-oriented work to help people make sense of repeating patterns. JaLisa supports people coping with life changes, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. She also addresses attachment concerns, communication problems, and issues that affect mood and impulse control.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
JaLisa uses evidence-based techniques in simple, practical ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice thoughts that feed anxiety or low mood and then try small behavior changes to test new ways of coping. Strength-based work focuses on a person’s existing resources and successes and builds on those to tackle current problems.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, and then adjust methods together over time. That way the plan stays useful and relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for standard therapy conversations, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or texting can be a quicker way to check in between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, caregiving, or medical needs.
