About Orlise
Dr. Orlise Aubrey is a licensed clinical social worker with 38 years of practice in Louisiana. She offers steady, experienced support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood from the first session.
She focuses on real-life changes and everyday struggles. She helps people improve communication, rebuild self-esteem, and find direction after loss or major transitions. She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, parenting strains, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue.
Aubrey draws on several clinical approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered methods as tools to address thoughts, emotions, and relationship patterns. She frames therapy as practical work, not just conversation.
Her sessions aim to reduce isolation and build coping skills. People leave with clearer goals and small, doable steps to change patterns that cause pain. She also addresses more specific concerns like abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, ADHD, body image, chronic illness, and communication problems.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Scheduling begins by using the site’s continue button on this profile and completing a short matching questionnaire, after which clients arrange sessions according to therapist availability.

How these approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where people feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior, and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and actions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with mood challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on naming and responding to strong emotions and improving patterns of connection with others, which can help with intimacy-related issues and communication problems.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Expect an initial conversation about what feels most helpful, and adjustments over time as progress is made.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people join from different locations, which is helpful for those living outside the therapist’s state or for international clients. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote sessions so the focus stays on practical tools and emotional understanding rather than logistics.
