About Orlise
Dr. Orlise Aubrey is an LCSW licensed in Louisiana with 38 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting stress, and mood concerns including bipolar disorder. She also lists guilt and shame among the issues she addresses.
Dr. Aubrey focuses on straightforward conversation and practical skills. She helps people name what they are feeling and figure out small steps to reduce overwhelm. Many clients come for help with self-esteem, communication problems, grief, or coping with major life changes.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy appear in work on emotion regulation and relationship patterns.
Sessions also pay attention to life context. Dr. Aubrey notes adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and cultural background when they matter to a person's story. She aims to connect therapeutic tools to everyday routines so progress can carry over into family, work, and daily tasks.
People who come to her often want clear steps and room to talk honestly about shame, guilt, or difficult past events. The focus is on practical coping, clearer communication, and rebuilding confidence in daily life.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they fit
Dr. Aubrey draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values rather than reacting to every feeling. This approach can be useful for guilt and shame that keeps someone stuck in the past.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more realistic thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, mood shifts, and problems with self-esteem. Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements are used when the work centers on connection and communication in relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation can include trying short experiments and adjusting methods over time.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy week by reducing travel and making it easier to schedule a short check-in or a full session during a lunch break. They also let people work from a quieter place or choose a session length that matches a specific need, while the therapist helps apply the same ACT, CBT, or EFT tools used in face-to-face work.
