About Shalisa

Shalisa Partee is a licensed clinician practicing in Maryland who guides people through common life challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, career difficulties, and motivation struggles.

Background and approach

With an MD and an LCSW-C and five years of professional experience, she centers care on the client's own strengths and lived knowledge while offering practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Shalisa approaches each case with empathy and a focus on building tools that fit the client's life.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relational patterns that influence emotional well-being. She aims to create a collaborative space where clients can set meaningful goals and practice skills between sessions.

Whether addressing grief, trauma, sleep and eating concerns, or workplace stress, Shalisa emphasizes steady progress and respect for each person’s pace and priorities.

Therapeutic approaches and online care options

Shalisa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete techniques for managing anxiety, mood disturbances, sleep and eating difficulties, and workplace stress. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and ongoing relationship dynamics shape current emotional responses and interpersonal challenges, which can be useful for communication problems, grief, and trauma-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what fits each person’s needs and preferences, so treatment evolves together rather than following a fixed roadmap.

Online sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
