About Wallisa
Wallisa Connally is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 27 years in practice. She offers a warm, interactive style and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. Her approach aims to be respectful and compassionate without using stigmatizing labels.
Wallisa draws on practical methods to address everyday problems. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and set clear, achievable goals. Sessions typically include talking through patterns, trying new coping strategies, and planning small steps forward.
She works with people facing a range of concerns such as codependency, family conflict, blended family issues, adoption and foster care topics, infidelity, and communication problems. Wallisa also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, mood disorders, ADHD, and multicultural challenges. Her years of experience include work with military-connected clients, which informs her understanding of related stresses.
In treatment she tailors the conversation and plan to each person. That can mean short-term focused work to solve a specific problem or longer work to address deeper family-of-origin patterns. She incorporates straightforward skills training, reflective listening, and practical homework when it helps.
People who choose her can expect a direct but compassionate clinician who prioritizes clear goals and steady progress. If someone wants to explore change, Wallisa offers guidance, coaching, and tools to help make daily life feel more manageable.
How her approaches guide online therapy
Wallisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it can help with anxiety, depression, and relationship stress by teaching specific skills and exercises to practice between sessions.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify concrete goals and build on strengths. That approach emphasizes quick, measurable steps and focuses discussions on what will be different when things improve, which can be useful for parenting challenges, codependency concerns, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to combine methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they set short-term targets, try tools, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
