About Orlise
Dr. Orlise Aubrey is a licensed clinical social worker with 38 years of practice based in Louisiana. She focuses on steady, practical support when life feels overwhelming. Her work centers on listening carefully and helping people take small, useful steps forward.
She helps people with depression, anxiety, bipolar mood disorders, and stress. Relationship problems, self-esteem struggles, grief, trauma, and intimacy-related issues are also areas she addresses. Adoption and foster care concerns are listed among her focus areas and can be discussed in sessions.
Her style is warm and direct. She aims to make therapy feel understandable rather than technical. Sessions often include learning new ways to cope, practicing communication skills, and setting short-term goals that fit everyday life.
Dr. Aubrey uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive tools to change unhelpful thinking, and emotion-focused work to repair connection. Dialectical strategies and client-centered listening are part of her toolbox as well.
She supports people through life transitions, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and major losses. Many who come to her want clearer boundaries, less reactivity, or help rebuilding purpose after change. Her aim is to help clients feel more capable and more in charge of their next steps.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, focuses on understanding emotions and improving how people connect and communicate about what matters most.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then try approaches that match those needs. This is collaborative - clients help shape the plan and adjust it over time.
The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make sessions possible for people living far from providers or managing caregiving and work demands. Licensed professionals and therapists can help choose how often to meet and which approach to use so therapy fits everyday life.
