Welcome! I’m Jalisia, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with a passion for helping people navigate life’s most difficult moments. Are you feeling like life is a constant uphill battle? Do you ever think, “Why does it feel like the rug keeps getting pulled out from under me?” If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in cycles of self-doubt and low motivation, you’re not alone. Life’s challenges can feel relentless, but seeking support is a powerful first step—and it shows tremendous strength. Together, we can navigate these challenges and help you build greater resilience and confidence. I take a person-centered approach, meaning you are in the driver’s seat of your own journey. In a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space, you’ll have the freedom to explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. My role is to provide empathy, validation, and guidance, helping you gain new insights and discover your inner strength. I incorporate evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI), to support your unique needs and help you build the tools for lasting change.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, you can expect a safe space where you feel supported and never judged. Somewhere you can show up as your full authentic self. We’ll discuss the reason you are seeking therapy, what’s getting in the way of the life you want and your desired goals. From there, we will work together to create a plan that will allow you to reach your goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My ability to build rapport quickly, provide a non-judgmental presence, and helping clients feel seen and heard. I meet my clients where they are and help them move forward with clarity and confidence.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal clients to work with are adolescents, young adults, justice-involved individuals, and people in crisis or experiencing significant life transitions.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Through CBT, we explore how your current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Together, we’ll identify unhelpful patterns that may be keeping you stuck in cycles of worry, stress, or self-criticism. From there, I’ll help you practice realistic, balanced ways of thinking and healthier coping strategies that you can apply in everyday life. CBT is practical and skills-based, so you’ll walk away with tools you can use right away—like calming anxious thoughts, reframing negative self-talk, and building confidence in your ability to handle challenges.

Motivational Interviewing

With Motivational Interviewing, we’ll focus on what matters most to you. Instead of me telling you what to do, we’ll explore your personal goals, values, and reasons for change. This approach is especially helpful if you’re feeling stuck, unsure, or ambivalent about taking the next step in your journey. MI helps uncover your own motivation and strengthens your confidence so that the changes you make are not only meaningful but also sustainable. Think of it as me walking alongside you, helping you discover the “why” that fuels lasting change.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Solution Focused Brief Therapy helps us shift from “what’s wrong” to “what’s possible.” Instead of getting lost in the problem, we’ll highlight your strengths, resources, and what’s already working—even if it feels small right now. From there, we’ll create simple, practical steps that bring you closer to the life you want. This approach is forward looking and empowering, making it especially effective if you’re craving relief quickly or need help building momentum toward your goals. It’s about progress, not perfection—finding those small wins that add up to big change.
