Malisha Webber, LCPC

Malisha Webber is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also assists people coping with major life changes. Her approach is direct and respectful, aimed at making first steps feel doable for someone who may be unsure about starting therapy.

She draws on practical methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice patterns that cause distress and try new ways of responding. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and present-moment awareness are needed. Attachment-based ideas inform work around connection, boundaries, and trust.

Sessions are tailored to each person. Conversations focus on clear goals and small experiments to test what helps. Homework or practice between meetings is discussed when it can support change in daily life.

With 11 years of experience, she brings steady guidance and a calm, nonjudgmental presence. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the room. The tone is practical rather than theoretical, so clients can leave each session with something to try.

People who reach out can expect a collaborative process that adapts to their needs. Plans are adjusted as progress is made and new issues come up. This method helps people move forward from feeling stuck toward clearer choices and healthier patterns.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Malisha commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and trying practical changes to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. ACT emphasizes values and flexible action, helping people accept difficult feelings while moving toward what matters to them.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy when relationship patterns and trust issues are central. That approach looks at how past connection patterns shape current reactions and helps people try different ways of relating in their daily lives.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they choose methods and adjust them over time so the work fits the client’s life and needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet those goals. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion and skill practice. Phone sessions can be useful when video isn’t an option or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing coaching, brief check-ins, or homework discussions between sessions, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
