About Orlise
Dr. Orlise Aubrey is a licensed clinical social worker with 38 years of experience in Louisiana. She focuses on helping people during hard life moments, from grief and depression to anxiety and relationship strain.
Her style is steady and straightforward, aimed at practical change rather than jargon. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps set small, useful goals. That might mean learning clearer ways to talk with a partner, building routines to manage mood, or finding tools for stress and anger.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a pace the client can handle. Orlise pays attention to cultural background and life stage issues. She often works with concerns tied to parenting, adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, and aging.
She also supports people coping with chronic illness, trauma, or major life transitions. Her methods draw on several evidence-based approaches to tailor work to each client. She uses skills training, values work, and emotion-focused strategies to help people change painful patterns and strengthen relationships.
The aim is practical coping and clearer choices. People meet her for help with specific problems like bipolar mood swings, ADHD, body image, or codependency. Others come for coaching around career or life direction.
Her practice emphasizes steady support and everyday strategies clients can use between sessions.
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions in that direction even when feelings are hard. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathic reflection, and building trust so clients can find their own solutions; it supports people feeling stuck, isolated, or unsure of next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns, which helps with mood, stress, and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will talk about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps pick which combination of ACT, client-centered listening, or CBT skills will be most helpful.
Online sessions let people access therapy with more flexibility. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and learning new skills. Phone sessions can be easier on low bandwidth days or when you prefer no camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, written coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
