About Orlise

Dr. Orlise Aubrey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with 38 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and mood concerns. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

She helps people who struggle with self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and parenting stress. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, and life changes such as divorce or loss. Her background includes work with diverse communities and attention to cultural and life-stage concerns.

Her style is direct and person-centered. Conversations aim to clarify what is most troubling and identify small, doable steps forward. She uses talk and skill practice to address communication problems, codependency, control issues, and commitment concerns.

Dr. Aubrey draws on several practical approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Client-Centered methods. These approaches are used to build coping skills, reduce avoidance, and improve emotional regulation. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs work around relationship and intimacy patterns.

People seeking help can expect a mix of short-term problem solving and longer work on patterns that recur over time. She guides clients through grief, abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, aging and caregiver stress, and adjustment after disasters. Sessions emphasize real-life changes clients can try between meetings.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help when anxiety or avoidance get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and tests them with real-life experiments. That approach is useful for reducing anxious thinking and improving mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings and interaction patterns in close relationships, helping people communicate needs and repair connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend or combine methods that fit the client's situation. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which tools to try first and how to adjust over time.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from a quieter place without travel. Therapists can assign short between-session practices, use video or phone to practice skills, and review progress in follow-up meetings.
