About Shalisa
Shalisa Partee is a licensed clinician in Maryland who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career struggles, and depression. She uses a straightforward, supportive style to help people take the first steps toward change. Shalisa emphasizes each person’s strengths and works alongside them to build momentum and confidence.
She encourages small, practical changes that fit daily life and feels achievable. Shalisa brings five years of professional experience to her work and holds an MD and an LCSW-C.
Background and approach
She believes clients are the experts on their own stories and treats their goals as central to each session. Conversations are collaborative and goal-focused, not lectures. The focus is on identifying patterns that get in the way and testing small strategies to change them.
Her approach blends Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That combination helps people understand relationship patterns and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions include talking through recent problems, trying new ways of coping, and practicing skills between meetings.
Shalisa also supports concerns such as ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting, anger, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with major life changes. She pays attention to workplace stress, multicultural concerns, and issues like postpartum depression and panic attacks. These areas often come up in practical planning and skill-building.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Shalisa uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape how people connect and trust others. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in real time and practice new ways of relating during conversations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing simple, practical strategies to change them. CBT techniques often include short exercises to try between sessions and quick tools for managing stress and mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shalisa collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they set small, measurable goals and adjust the plan as progress is made or priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options let people fit support into busy days, follow up quickly between meetings, and use methods that feel most comfortable. Working online makes it easier to practice skills in daily life and stay consistent with appointments.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
