She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy concerns, and mood disorders. Her style is warm and interactive, and she aims to treat people with respect and compassion.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy among other approaches to tailor conversations and plans to each person. In sessions she helps clients notice patterns, test thoughts, and try concrete changes that can improve daily life. She also addresses issues such as self-esteem, anger, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.

Wallisa brings extensive experience supporting people with family and adoption-related challenges, blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and family of origin concerns. She also works on concerns like codependency, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, and multicultural stressors. Her background includes work related to Veteran and Armed Forces issues.

People can expect straightforward, goal-oriented conversations that focus on small, practical steps. She combines short-term problem solving with attention to longer-term patterns when that fits a person's goals. The aim is to help people build skills they can use between sessions.

Sessions are offered in English and Wallisa accepts international clients. She offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging formats and supports coaching-style work as well as therapy for emotional and relationship concerns.

CBT and Solution-Focused Care Online

Wallisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online work. CBT helps people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and clear goals to move forward faster on specific problems like communication or parenting stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, daily routines, and preferences, then propose strategies to try. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits the person's life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for full conversations and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support shorter check-ins or between-session coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress moving forward.
