About Orlise

Dr. Orlise Aubrey is a licensed clinical social worker with 38 years of practice in Louisiana who guides people through emotional struggles and major life changes.

Background and approach

She uses a patient-centered approach that draws on cognitive behavioral principles alongside other evidence-informed methods to help clients identify patterns, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and build practical coping strategies. Her work attends to mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety and stress, and grief, with attention to relationship dynamics, communication difficulties, and intimacy-related challenges.

Her style blends empathic listening with goal-oriented techniques to foster self-awareness, resilience, and healthier interpersonal patterns. She also addresses issues related to parenting, caregiver stress, chronic illness, adoption and foster care, and a range of personality and developmental concerns.

Dr. Aubrey emphasizes collaboration and gradual skill-building so clients can move from feeling stuck toward clearer priorities and improved daily functioning.

Services are offered in English and are available to international clients. Her Louisiana license is documented as LCSW, LA LCSW 3101, and she tailors sessions to fit practical needs while supporting lasting change over time.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Dr. Aubrey commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to distress, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. ACT emphasizes acceptance of difficult emotions while clarifying personal values and taking committed action, a useful fit for life transitions and chronic coping challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to support meaningful progress rather than insisting on a single pathway from the start.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible and accessible. These options allow clients to connect from different locations and to choose formats that fit their schedules and comfort levels while still engaging in structured therapeutic work with licensed professionals.
