Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Shalisa Partee

Shalisa Partee integrates Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current ways of relating and responding to stress; it can help people strengthen connection, address trust issues, and improve emotional regulation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a skills-based approach that helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, develop practical coping strategies, and reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Shalisa collaborates with each client to determine what fits best. She assesses individual needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and effective for the person she is supporting.

Online therapy with Shalisa offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access care from home or work and allow clients to continue progress during life transitions or busy periods. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver thoughtful, evidence-informed care through these formats while maintaining a focus on meaningful, achievable outcomes.
