About Shalisa
Shalisa Partee is a licensed clinician in Maryland who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and career challenges. She balances practical steps with steady support so clients can begin to feel more in control. Shalisa emphasizes strengths and clear goals during sessions.
With five years of experience, she brings a calm, direct style to conversations. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and trying small changes that add up. She uses straightforward tools to manage mood, sleep, and focus when ADHD or stress get in the way.
Background and approach
Her background combines a medical degree (MD) and clinical social work licensure (LCSW-C). That mix helps her see both emotional and behavioral factors clearly. She draws on evidence-based techniques while keeping explanations plain and practical.
Shalisa often uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Together these approaches guide concrete steps for coping and healthier habits.
People who reach out usually want manageable strategies for everyday life. Sessions can include skill practice, thought work, and planning for real-world situations. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes, with the therapist and client working as a team.

How attachment and cognitive work translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and attachments. In practice this means noticing ways people expect others to respond and trying new ways of relating that reduce reactivity and anger.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches specific skills to spot unhelpful thoughts, test them, and build different habits that lead to better mood and behavior.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That may mean mixing attachment ideas with CBT tools until the best fit emerges.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like too much. Live chat and text are helpful for short check-ins, brief skill practice, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain regular work on stress, anger, sleep, and other concerns while keeping therapy practical and flexible.
