About Shalisa
Shalisa Partee is a licensed clinician in Maryland who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and workplace or career strain. She meets clients where they are and focuses on practical steps to improve daily functioning and confidence. Shalisa emphasizes straightforward support and steady encouragement during change.
She uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationships shape feelings and patterns. That approach can help people understand why they react the way they do with others.
Background and approach
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors that lead to better outcomes. Sessions tend to be collaborative and action-oriented. Shalisa works with clients to set small, realistic goals and to build routines that address sleep, eating, and concentration.
She offers tools for managing panic, coping with grief, and reducing burnout and compassion fatigue. Her background includes an MD and a LCSW-C, and she brings five years of professional experience to her clinical work. That mix supports both medical and psychosocial perspectives when relevant to a client's concerns.
Shalisa welcomes conversations about mood disorders, trauma and abuse, addictions, and relationship communication problems. She also addresses life transitions, parenting stress, postpartum depression, and multicultural or workplace issues. Her approach is practical, steady, and focused on what a person can do between sessions.
How attachment work and CBT translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions using this approach focus on patterns in relationships and on changing everyday interactions to reduce anxiety and improve connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice thoughts that get in the way and try different behaviors to change mood and performance. Online CBT sessions often include homework, brief skill practice, and concrete tools for managing panic, sleep, or concentration.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort with different formats. That collaborative process means plans can shift if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people have a more face-to-face conversation and use visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can fit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or times when fitting a session into a work break is easier. These options make it simpler to keep steady progress while juggling a busy life.
