About
JaLisa Giles is an LCSW based in Texas with eight years of clinical experience supporting individuals and families. She works with people ages 15 and up who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Her approach emphasizes an affirming environment for people of color and others who seek a respectful, culturally aware space.
She uses a straightforward, client-centered style that prioritizes honest conversation over clinical formality. Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strength-Based methods, Psychodynamic ideas, and Motivational Interviewing to help clients identify goals and practical steps forward. JaLisa aims to translate insight into changes that fit each person’s daily life.
Beyond core specialties, her additional focus areas include aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, attachment and blended family issues, body image, mood disorders, multicultural concerns, and challenges such as isolation, impulsivity, and discrimination-related distress. She offers a free consultation to explore a potential fit and to shape clear, attainable goals with each client.
Remote collaborative care
JaLisa provides online sessions designed for straightforward, goal-focused work. She meets with people ages 15 and up to explore current concerns, set practical objectives, and build strategies that translate to everyday life. Sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different comfort levels and schedules.
Her use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy involves helping clients notice and test unhelpful thoughts and habits, then try specific changes to improve mood and functioning. Strength-Based techniques focus on identifying personal resources and past successes to support change. Motivational Interviewing helps people weigh ambivalence and find internal motivation for the steps they choose.
These approaches are used collaboratively: JaLisa works with clients to co-create goals, select strategies that fit their values, and review progress over time. A free consultation is offered to discuss fit and preferred online formats before beginning regular sessions.What is JaLisa Giles's experience?
